Description:
c1932 mfr. COLT “OFFICIAL POLICE” .38 Special C&R Revolver Double Action
w/ MOTHER OF PEARL GRIPS
Here we present a C&R Colt Official Police Double Action Revolver, made in 1932 by the Colt Manufacturing Company with a production run from 1907 through 1969 in Hartford, Connecticut with over 1,000,000 revolvers built. As the 20th Century began, the older .32 caliber revolvers which had been standard-issue for most of America’s police departments began to be phased out in favor of the larger-bore .38 caliber.
In 1908 Colt introduced a sleek and modernized revolver they dubbed the “Army Special”, which in the powerful (for the time) and popular .38 Special quickly became the issue service revolver of many departments. The revolver was renamed "Colt's Official Police" in 1927 in order to better market to law enforcement agencies. It became one of the best-selling police firearms of all time, eventually in the 1950s coming to exemplify typical law enforcement officer weaponry. The Official Police was also used by various U.S. and allied military forces during World War II.
The overall condition is fine. Refinished in nickel. The action is excellent. The bore is very fine, very bright with sharp rifling. The numbers match. The grips are solid mother of pearl and are near fine, with small chips at the heel.
