c1905 mfr. COLT Double Action POLICE POSITIVE .38 New Police Revolver C&R
Colt’s Widely Produced Police Revolver Design
Here we present a C&R Colt Police Positive, made in 1905 by the Colt Manufacturing Company in Hartford, Connecticut, with a production run from 1905 through 1947. The Colt Police Positive is a small-frame, double-action revolver featuring a six-round cylinder, chambered for different variants of .32 or .38 caliber. It was also later offered in .22 caliber cartridges. Designed primarily for sale to federal, state, or local law enforcement agencies, the Police Positive was introduced into the overall firearms market by Colt's Manufacturing Company in 1905. The Colt Police Positive was an improvement of Colt's earlier “New Police” revolver, upgraded with an internal hammer block safety.
The Police Positive was very successful venture for Colt. Along with the Colt Official Police, it dominated the law enforcement firearms market in the early 1900s. The Positive was itself incrementally modified in 1908, forming the basis for Colt's Police Positive Special model. The Colt Police Positive Special was a slight improvement of Colt's earlier Police Positive model with the only differences being a slightly lengthened cylinder and elongated and strengthened frame to allow the chambering of the longer, more powerful .32-20 Winchester Center Fire and .38 Special cartridges.
This example has a “Police Positive” marked barrel and a “New Police” marked frame, with “Colt New Police .38” marked on the barrel for the caliber.
The overall condition is fine. Original finish. The action is excellent. The bore is bright with sharp rifling. The trademarked grips are in fine shape. Numbers match.
