Here's a couple of photos of my "baby boomer" Colts. Top to bottom, Colt Officers Model Match from 1956 (IIRC), the Officers Model Special from 1949 (1st yr for 4th issue), and the .357 Magnum from 1954 (1st year production). Somewhere along the way, I picked up a liking for the then-top-of-the-line Colts.
