Pics of the 38 Super Match

[Henry Poole]

I thought this was a commercial, but there's no 'C' before the serial number.??...

Too bad about the light scratches on the side of the slide.....

Man that is a beautiful Colt Super .38.

[Henry Poole]

Thanks Hunter. I had much difficulty getting the pics uploaded. Some were too large and some too small, sorry about the bad lighting.

Whats you opinion on the scratches on the slide?

[HorseArtillery]

awesome pistol. thanks for posting those pics.

[Gordon Jr.]

That is so nice Henry! Thanks for sharing it with us.

[leade45]

I must call the ambulance.

I'm sure I just suffered a small stroke.

Gosh, what a nice piece.....

Those didn't have a "C"........

.
I would not worry too much about those scratches.
I would keep the pistol wiped down good to prevent any rust from trying to settle in but I don't know if those scratches are all the way through the finish.
Either way I would take real good care of that Colt, she is a keeper.

Super .38s had their own serial number range, from 1 (no zeros) to 202388. If that serial number is in the 17,000 range, the pistol dates from 1935. Beauty!

Walt

[Henry Poole]

Thanks for all the kind words guys.

Hunter, What oil do you recommend for the wipe down? The scratches a very light. Not deep at all.

[HorseArtillery]

hey henry--how did you come by this piece? family? auction? buddy?

[daveohno]

That is a very nice older Colt Super 38!

[sweet45]

Thats a beauty! I know everyone loves original, but that super would sure look sweet after a trip to Colt for a high polish blue.

[RickB]

No, no! A thousand times, no! That gun is absolutely beautiful, and doing anything other than preserving it would be a crime against humanity. Keep it wiped down, and enjoy.

[M203Sniper]

Very Nice pictures sir. Keep it stock, looks good that way.
