Description:
HIGH CONDITION AND VERY HARD TO FIND BANKER SPECIAL, .38 NEW POLICE (.38 S&W) CALIBER, WITH EARLY SQUARE BUTT, #350XXX, MADE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE GREAT DEPRESSION IN 1931. The Banker Special was basically a special run of the Police Positive model, but made only with a 2” barrel. They were made from 1928-1943. Only the earliest examples have the desirable square butt which was changed to the round butt in 1933. This excellent example shows nearly all the original deep blue with the exception of the back strap which has thinned. Interestingly, the butt is stamped “No. 12794” which probably indicates a badge number or something similar as some of this model was issued to the U.S. Post Office or express agencies etc. A Colt factory letter might be historically revealing on this one. Great fire blue on the back of the hammer and on the trigger, exc. checkered walnut grips show light holster wear mainly on the bottom edge. All markings sharp and clear, tight action, exc. bore and unaltered front sight. One of the more difficult of the Pre-War Colt double actions to locate in any condition.
