It the gun has a target hammer and service stocks.then a previous owner replaced them. To tell if the gun came from the factory with target stocks, the top sideplate screw would have flat head and slightly recessed. Grips.as mentioned above, for $5.00 one could upgrade from the service stocks and hammer to target. 22s were serialized with the OFFICERS MODEL MATCH not the TROOPER. Colt then combined the two coming out with only the TROOPER. 357 was made from I believe 1953 to 1960 and the TROOPER. Liked shooting it so much I went out and found a 1968 TROOPER. About two years ago my friend downsized his collection and I ended up with the gun. It was so nice I asked that I be first in line when he sold it. I have not owned very many Colt revolvers over the years but about 10 years ago I found a 1954 vintage TROOPER. 357 4" just sold on GB last week for $3100.00!! Didn't even have a box!! Back in the 1950s and 60s for $5.00 more one got the target hammer and target grips.Īlways liked the COLT. Nice gun.and you even have the $5.00 "upgrade".
