The Colt Special was an inexpensive ($ .98) 50 shot repeater that was introduced in 1957. This is one of the smaller guns, but still had the nice grips. Some were made in chrome and there were a few that were blued. They even came with wooden grips! Sometimes I think whomever was putting the guns together or selling them got bored and started something different—like blueing the guns, etc.

This was the same year that the famous Stallion 45 MK-II was introduced and it was one of the "counterpoints" to the larger, more expensive gun. So who would have figured that the larger more expensive gun would still remain by the thousands and yet the small Colt Special is moderately rare? I don't have one yet, so if you have an abundance of these, just send me one!
