Payment Types Accepted: checks, cashiers/bank check, money order Description: EXCEEDINGLY RARE .32 NEW POLICE (.32 S&W LONG) CALIBER PRE-WAR OFFICERS MODEL HEAVY BARREL TARGET REVOLVER, #635XXX, MADE NEAR THE END OF THE GREAT DEPRESSION IN 1939. The standard calibers for all the Officers Models was either .38 Special or .22 Rim Fire. Only toward the end of Pre-War production when Colt was turning out few revolvers during the worst economic times this country had known for decades, did Colt make a small run of these fine revolvers in .32 Caliber. It is thought that only a few hundred were manufactured. This example shows most of the blue intact with only some faint “spotting” to the blue on the right side of the frame behind the recoil shield with- looks like either some drops of water or sweat rested in this area and thinned the blue. The six inch barrel is clearly marked with the usual Colt address on top with patent dates correctly ending with the 1926 date. The left side of the barrel is marked “COLT OFFICERS MODEL 32 HEAVY BARREL.” The standard factory grips have been replaced with beautiful thumb rest wrap around target stocks with a well executed checkering pattern with a diamond at the screw hole on each side. Tight mechanically and excellent inside, this is the highest quality turned out by Colt during the years when only the best craftsmen remained employed to hand fit and finish these top of the line handguns.
