Question Opinions about a Colt King Cobra. Older One.

I have found an "As New" Colt King Cobra Stainless 6 inch barrel for $1899.00 at my Preferred Gun Shop. Manufactured in 1992. It's in Unfired ( Except Factory Firing) Condition. Has the Colt Medallion Pachmayer grips. This Guy WILL do some Trades! I have No Pictures, but the serial # is VC0711
Opinions? Is it worth it? No Box or paperwork, He bought several Snake Guns from an Old Guy wanting to sell his collection. Worth $1899.00?
Again, I think so!

I would say it is worth it. Its not really old enough imo to care about box or papers. Besides the factory cold historic letter is the one you want if that matters.


I say yes!

Very nice. I have been wanting a wheel gun but with some life changes it has been put on hold. So maybe next year.

If you have the funds, go for it! You will regret not getting it later on if you really want it. Price is within range of the market for those.

Snake guns are on the rise. Will they drop? Not for me to decide. Doesn’t look like you would lose money. Will you lose the opportunity? How many unfired snake guns have you come across in the last 5 years? How many do you expect t to see in the next 5 years? My only question is if it is unfired, wha happened to the box and extras? If it was a collector piece, why would the collector not collect the box?

Good questions! I only know this: The Dealer that has 3 Snake Guns, a Python, King Cobra & Anaconda He bought them all from an Old Guy that had them in his safe. All 3 are in same condition! Some People just throw the boxes away! I work in a Gun Shop and I can tell you, they do! Thing is: Back in 1992, who knew these would bring this kind of money now? The NEW King Cobra's are Not even as good as Ruger GP100's! And for between $800 and 900.00! Colt made a Mistake on the New Cobra's and King Cobra's! Big Time! Anyway, the Old Cobra will be mine, It's being Held for Me.
