Colt Forum - Colt Revolvers. The gun broker prices for a, to me, beat up gun seem to be 400-500. There is one that is basically new in box (minus the box) for $899 and there is one that is a 1966 that is in, probably 5% better condition than this one, for $775. Try searching on completed listings.
Even after Colt began using unique serial guns in the 's, Colt often combined a number of pistols into 1849 serial dating range. As thuer in the late 's Colt started combining all lightweight 'PRODUCT' frame numbers like the Detective Special, Cobra, Agent, Diamondback, Viper, Police Positive Special, etc in the same serial number ranges. Colt London Model 1851 Navy Revolver. Colt Model 1855 Side Hammer “Root” Pocket Revolver. Colt Models 1 and 1A Serial #1-384. Colt Model 2 Serial #476-25000. Colt Model 3 Serial #0. Colt Model 3A and 4 Serial #1-2400. Colt Model 5 Serial #2401-8000. Colt Model 5A Serial #2401-8000. The 'U' under the serial number is a factory inspectors stamp. In the mid-1960's, Federal law demanded that all firearms have a unique serial number. At that time Colt started using letters as a prefix or suffix in the serial number. In these guns, the letter is part of the numbers. Later, in 1965 Colt changed all their small frame revolvers to use the same short frame in order to simplify production. The Agent was available in blue, probably bright nickel, and later in the early 1980's with a dull, flat black finish. The Agent was available in.38 Special. NOTE: Your older Agent was not rated for use with +P ammunition.
