The Cobra’s First Series alloy frame is identified by the "LW" marking and is paired with a steel cylinder and 2-inch steel barrel, with the alloy frame finished in black anodizing and the barrel and cylinder finished in blued steel. This configuration delivers the classic lightweight D-frame profile with a six-shot capacity and an unshrouded ejector rod.
Chambered in .32 S&W Long (the Colt New Police variant), this example represents a less common caliber within the Cobra line. It operates in double-action/single-action with an exposed hammer and a smooth-faced trigger.
The sighting setup is fixed, with a serrated ramped blade front and a topstrap groove notch rear. Period details include a serrated barrel rib.
