 I would have placed that ad sometime in the 1960s, but that is a >1972 gun. I remember seeing an ad, obviously dated well before the passage of the National Firearms Act, showing a lone cowboy fighting off bandidos with a Thompson submachine gun.  In reality, not too many ranchers out in BFE could afford one. | |||

Thanks for that posting. That lady in the back looks just like my lunch lady who served up sloppy Joes with her hand covered by a clear plastic wrap. She even looks like she is wearing one of those attractive hair nets. | |||

I Googled the name of the magazine and got no hits. Fake? | |||

Maybe that gal has her Cobra stashed in that book on the table (cutout) at school. Maybe she will put that Cobra in his face between bits of mashed potatoes and English peas. Enjoyed seeing that ad, don't remember seeing it , how well would that ad go over today! LOL 美しい犬 | |||

It appears to be fabricated. Shrouded Cobras and Detective Specials were introduced in 1972. The photo shows people with clothing and hairstyles from the late 1950s or early 1960s. On top of that, I used to collect Colt literature and advertisement and I've never seen such a thing. I just can't see an ad like that appearing from Colt anytime in the postwar era, and words like masher and hophead were already antiquated when the pistol shown in that ad was manufactured. If it's authentic, it's the most outrageous Colt ad ever. ____________________________________________________ "I am your retribution." - Donald Trump, speech at CPAC, March 4, 2023 | |||

Sorry if it's a fake. I thought it was a kinda cool ad. When a thing is funny, search it carefully for a hidden truth. - George Bernard Shaw | |||

Fake news, now Fake Ads. Of course some of the ads from the 50s and 60s were something else. | |||

I wonder if I could still get a gun finished in “Pacifier” blue.  And city zones (e.g., Hartford 15) were out and ZIP codes were in long before shrouded Colts. ► 6.4/93.6 “It is peace for our time.” — Neville the Appeaser | |||

Yup, Zip codes were introduced in 1963. Looks like this was a fabrication/fake. Sorry para and guys.  When a thing is funny, search it carefully for a hidden truth. - George Bernard Shaw | |||

He's one creepy masher, though. Probably a panty sniffer or something. Shoot him, baby! ____________________________________________________ "I am your retribution." - Donald Trump, speech at CPAC, March 4, 2023 | |||

I LOVE that fake ad! I think Colt would be wise to use it in a full-page ad in USA Today, People, and Mademoiselle. I actually had one of those "Johnny 7's".... It did not stand up to heavy tactical use, at least in my seven year-old hands. | |||

Good fun. But way over the top IMO to be real. Has to be a fake. --------------------------------------------- Proverbs 27:17 - As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. | |||

It is fake. No way Colt puts shooting someone over and over in an advertisement. I agree he looks like a creep and probably deserves it for that alone. ____________________________________________________ New and improved super concentrated me: Proud rebel, heretic, and Oneness Apostolic Pentecostal.

This post put a smile on my face. We have quite a few people here that have the knowledge and critical thinking skills in different and many areas. Para is one of them. I don't admire that somebody's balloon got popped but the expertise demonstrated. It's like those Antique Road Show experts when they talk about either fake or genuine stuff and their value. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

"Ladies life and household" magazine gets no returns on Google. More likely Mad Magazine? _________________________ “Remember, remember the fifth of November!" | |||
