Hello everyone. I am new to this forum and I am enjoying reading years worth of good advice and interesting stories.
I recently purchased a Colt Cobra made in 1969. It is unfired and has no box. There is a blemish on the Nickel right behind the cylinder.
I have several questions if you wouldn't mind sharing your wisdom and experience:
1) Is the blemish repairable, will Colt re-nickel it or repair it? If so, will they provide some sort of Colt documentation on their work?
2) Should my perspective be to make it a collectable safe queen or does the absence of a box and the blemish make it something I should enjoy owning and shooting with no guilt.
3) I paid $750.00 and I feel good about that price. How was I on the over/under?
Thank you in advance.
