Thinking about thinning these out but don't know if I can bring myself to do it. Five detective specials and two cobras ranging from 1931 to 1976. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/qjn8Pc7.jpeg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/NDrbRQf.jpeg)

Those are neat. I just don't know anything at all about them, from a desirability/collectability perspective.
Always wanted a snub nose for that inner Private Eye in 1947 mind game/fantasy.

Detective Specials are so cool. I once had four of them, but now am down to two. One of the ones I sold I still regret selling.

I like the second thru fifth ones down. That rounded butt they used on those frames feels good in my hand.

Beauties. I have owned a couple of Detective Specials over the years. I like them, six shots, perfect grip size, smooth action, steel frame and it's all good.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
