Here is my nickel Colt DS from 1975. Funny story about acquiring it. We had a barn sale in 2018 and one guy asked if we had any gun stuff for sale. I said no but asked if he did. He said yes - this Colt. So later that afternoon, I met him at his house, looked the pistol over and bought it.

I wish I have the luck like that. Nice revolver. I have 4" Diamondback, but always want to find a short barrel D-frame revolver.

Just so happens I picked up this D Frame circa 1939 Colt Detective Special this morning...

The Hopkins Sporting Good Company mentioned in the Colt Archive Letter above is still in business...

Our History
Hopkins Sporting Goods, Inc. has been in business for more than 110 years. It started as a hardware, hunting, and fishing store. Soon after opening, a corner of the store began selling athletic items. Actual catalogs containing uniforms and equipment from 1909 and 1910 are still in existence today at the store.

The business evolved over the years selling more athletic items and less hardware hunting and fishing. Around 1980, Hopkins began selling only athletic equipment and clothing.

Today, Hopkins Sporting Goods, Inc. is still Iowa's oldest sporting goods store. It is locally owned and provides equipment and uniforms throughout the state. Hopkins is a one-stop sporting goods supplier.

My 1985 Agent Special. I bought it new in 85 and carried it in my briefcase until 2019 when I retired.

Some of my favorite "D" frame Colts. I Love the Bankers' Specials. Serial number 309535 is one of the first Bankers' Specials manufactured. The square butt guns have a "special" look to me.
