any other anaconda owners

[Guest gruesome]

I got this anaconda about 6 months ago. I love this thing. I decided to try and find approx. date of birth for it. All the info i found was for serial prefix mn. Mine is anxxxxx . I have heard rumors that this was made in the custom shop after end of reg. prod. run. would love some input.

The Colt Anaconda never competed well against the S&W M-29 or Ruger Redhawk, it was horribly expensive and wasn’t an attractive design. Given Colt was in serious financial difficulties it was too little, too late. Those who had the foresight to purchase Anaconda’s for investment/collectors purposes were prudent. A letter to Colt will tell you if yours went through the custom shop. I own an early 1950’s Colt 357 Magnum 4” blued steel “pre-Python” the Colt Custom Shop restored for me. Those folks are amazing and well worth the time and money to have do your Colt repair or restoration work.

I bought one in 45 Colt new in 1994. I paid $499 for it. I'd put it up against any S&W or Ruger any day.

I don't have one but always want one, I have a King Cobra. Always thought they would go good together. Then I guess I would need a Python also, lol. By the way I will never part with it, it will eventually belong to one of the kids.

I'd like to be a fellow Anaconda owner, how about you help me out with that.
