I have a Colt Viper in Excellent Cond. I know they are rare but wanted to know when and how many were actually made. Thanks

    I'm looking for a website to find some nice imitation pearl grips for a colt viper.

    What type of frame is a colt viper?
    Does anybody know of a good site?

    Thanks

    I read somewhere that there were two runs of Vipers. Most were made in 1977, with a second "clean-up" batch coming later.

    I don't know how many Vipers were made, but they are certainly less common than other snake guns. Maybe someone else can help with the total.

    Essentially a lightweight version of the Police Positive. The 2013 Standard Catalog gives it:

    NIB-$1000
    Exc-$750
    V.G-$500
    Good-$200
    Fair-$125
    Poor-$100

    I suspect real world prices are higher.

    No information on production numbers though, sorry.

    Yes, they are. NIB value is now around $2000+. I saw a NIB gun at a show in Ariz about a year ago. There were two Vipers at a local auction a few months ago. If I recall both were nickel guns.
