Description:
From Coltfever:
                COLT OFFICER'S MODEL TARGET
                        "E" FRAME
 
    In 1904 Colt introduced it's first medium frame double action target model revolver as the Colt Officer's Model.
    From then to 1969 Colt would produce versions of this under several names.
    The Officer's Model was always Colt's premium revolver until the introduction of the super-premium Python in 1955.
    In the days when the revolver was King of the Matches, the Officer's models were always the favorite of the champions and Colt's held all the records.

    -The Officer's Model Special, Fourth issue
    The Officer's Model Special was Colt's first upgrade post-war.
    Post-war Colt began assigning letter codes to frame sizes.  The medium frame as used on the Official Police and Officer's Models was the Colt "E" frame.
    The Officer's Model Special was made only from 1949 to 1952
    It had an extra heavy, untapered "Bull" barrel and the Coltmaster fully adjustable rear sight that was offered only on this revolver.
    A new style hammer was introduced, and the post-war type cylinder retention system was used.  Checkering of the hammer, trigger, and cylinder latch was discontinued. 
    Calibers were .22LR and .38 Special.
    Barrel was 6".
    Grips were reddish-brown "Coltwood" Service type plastic.
    Finish was blue.

The grips on this Colt are aftermarket Franzite with a chip behind the trigger guard, and the grip screw needs to be replaced. There is some obvious wear on the muzzle, and a few spots of light surface rust. Shiny bore.
