This Special Lady was a very limited run thru the Custom Shop 38spc BSTS. I would like to know how many were released if anyone knows.

LNIB 1982 3" Detective Special (Those are just light reflections and not wear. Sorry about that...)

And Just a Few More. My "Trio" of Detective Specials (Left to Right... 1980 E-Nickel, 1981 Blue, 1978 Bright Nickel) all LNIB. I just noticed the different style grips on the E-Nickel gun from 1980. This one was from the Colt Custom Shop. Might this explain the apparent "out of date" grips?

I will add my pics of newly acquired DS. 1975 model with Pachs. There are a few light scratches and just a bit of cloudiness around the latch and Rampant Colt. Overall very pleased with it. Replaced the Pachs with orginal DS stocks.

Lost my photo's due to me creating a sub-album after posting. Wanted to share with all you guys. Really proud of this new nickel DS.

Here is my 59' Detective Special as it came to me with its period correct "gunfighter mods". It has just the right amount of finish wear to give it perfect "Wabi" in the aesthetic balanced sense (quoted from a friend of mine).

@ssgunnip...yes, original factory shroud. The only Colt I have that I can honestly say has not been fired. I also believe that goes for the factory. Box and papers. All there. Slight turn ring between 3 cylinders only. Right side grip has what seems to be a spot of glue. Box is beat up but at least I know it is not a repro. Label has come unglued but it is still there.

New to me 1931:

You just can't help but feel a little bit like you're in a Bogart movie holding one of these things.

Hello, new member from Ohio here, thought I'd share a pic of my first and favorite gun in my collection. A 2nd generation Detective Special that my grandfather passed down to me. Got a chance to shoot this gun with him when I was 8 or 9 yrs old. Sorry, not the best pic, had to take it with my phone.
