That's a Trooper MkIII,fairly common,I've owned 3,one bought new.The old model Troopers are an entirely different handgun.The Mk III line of Colt's were designed to be mostly machine made with very little hand fitting using a coil spring mainspring.

Thanks JB I appreciate the info. I picked it up a few years back knowing nothing about it except it was NIB. Any idea on market value?
Thanks
