For sale is a Colt Trooper MK III double-action revolver in .357 Mag. Serial number – 2194J. Mfg Dated: 1973. This revolver is in good condition, be sure to see the New Jersey State Emblem on the right side of the grips and the butt plate/lanyard loop that was added to the bottom of the wood grips. The MK III line of Colt revolvers was introduced in 1969. This made significant engineering changes to the Trooper and Official Police models. Intended to be the first major advancement of Colt’s designs since the beginning of the 20th century, the MK IIIs used a new ‘J’ frame and had no parts interchangeability with older models. The new revolvers were considered groundbreaking as they were the first modern revolver designs to employ a state of the art transfer-bar lockwork system. It also served as a less expensive alternative to the famous Colt Python.

Be sure to see the photos to assess the condition of the revolver for yourself. Note there is some finish wear on the barrel, frame, and the grips. After removing the grips, it looks as though the frame was originally stainless and has been re-blued. This likely served as a duty gun for a State Trooper which would explain the wear.
