Hi Folks,I've got a mystery here.I received this super from my grandfathers estate.Prior to his death he told me of winning a magazine subscription contest for one of the hunting mags of the day.(field&stream,sports afield,fur fish and game,you get the idea.)Either this super or a colt woodsman (don't have) was the prize.Has anybody heard of anything like this out of the late twenties?I sure wish I'd written all of his info down, just wasn't on the ball I guess.Colt super is in outstanding condition in the ragged box.By the way it's not for sale, too much sentimental value.
THANKS

Well, you are new here, so you may not be aware of the rule that says that any thread here, should come with pictures. Or, as we say...



To find out how to post pictures, please read the FAQ section.

If you are talking the Colt Super .38, then yes. Serial number 516x is 1929 production, that is also the first year of production (sn. 1 - 5850). Do you have any pictures you can post?

Hi John, You're right ,will try to post more pictures in the future, but have to admit am old dog learning new tricks, and wife has the camera,and I hate to admit she's more savvy than I am on downloading.Also have a daughter lives in your country(small world)Thanks,K Little

Your daughter lives in Greece??? Imagine that!

If she is into shooting at all, have her call me. PM me if you need a phone number.
