 SCARCE, MINTY CONDITION COLT COBRA .22 LR, 3" BARREL, #109XXX LW, MADE 1961

Description:
 SCARCE, MINTY CONDITION COLT COBRA .22 LONG RIFLE CHAMBERING, 3" BARREL, #109XXX LW, MADE 1961. The Cobra with .22 LR came standard with a 3" barrel and was only catalogued from 1957-1968. The relatively new book SEVEN SERPENTS The History of Colt's Snake Guns, by Gurney Brown has the Cobra ranked from    1 - 5 in rarity with 1 the most common and 5 the most rare. He lists the .22 LR version as a "4." Not sure how many were made, but the number was limited as they seldom show up. This one appears about unused and in about new condition. You'd have to look carefully to find a smudge of blue wear on the rear of the cylinder from the gun lying on its side in a drawer! The front of the cylinder has about all the blue indicating it was rarely if ever shot. Only possibility of a better example would be one new in the box.
