Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds Price check, Colt Trooper MK III

Alright guys I have run across a Colt Trooper MK III .357 with the electroless nickel finish, 6" barrel, original box and paperwork. The guy that has it is the original owner, bought in or around 1979. He said it was a MK II but after doing a very quick search it appears that is has to be a MK III. I have not put my eyes or hands on this gun yet. How is the overall quality of this gun? I know it is not on the same level as a Python. Anything in particular I should be looking for when I see the pistol? What is the value of this gun if it is in very good shape (as described by the owner)?

Also, found out that the gun was originally blued. The gunshop that the current owner bought the gun from in 1979 had it sent back to the Colt Custom Shop for another customer and they put the electroless nickel finish on it. When the gun shop received the gun back from Colt the guy did not like it so he did not buy it. The owner of the gun shop called the guy I am dealing with and he went down and bought the gun. So now ya'll know what I know.

I can buy this gun for $400. Deal or no deal?????

Thanks for the help.

I'd jump on it.

I would buy it no questions asked. You can't hardly buy a beater for $400.

Great gun. Buy it and sell it to me.
