c1922 COLT ARMY SPECIAL .38 Double Action “Official Police” REVOLVER C&R
ROARING TWENTIES Police & US Military Sidearm
Here we present a C&R Colt Army Special Double Action Revolver, made in 1922 in Hartford, Connecticut. This model had a production run from 1907 through 1969 with over 1,000,000 revolvers built. As the 20th Century began, the older .32 caliber revolvers which had been standard-issue for many of America’s police departments began to be phased out in favor of the larger-bore .38 caliber.
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 (five years after this revolver was made) 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. Original finish. Excellent action. Bright and sharply rifled bore. Both grips are in fine shape with less than expected wear. The Brauer Bros MFG. Co. of St. Louis holster is shearling lined with a suede and viny exterior. It is in good shape. A very nicely preserved Colt!
