Description:
1905 COLT Double Action NEW POLICE .32 Six-Shot SELF DEFENSE Revolver C&R
NYC Police Commissioner TEDDY ROOSEVELT Authorized
Here we present a C&R Colt New Police Revolver, made in 1905 by the Colt Manufacturing Company with a production run from 1896 through 1907 in Hartford, Connecticut. The Colt New Police is a double-action, six-shot revolver that can be fired in single or double action. The gun was chambered in the .32 New Police, which is dimensionally identical to a flat-nose version of the .32 S&W Long, except for the nose shape. In addition to the .32 New Police cartridge, the revolver was available in 32 Long Colt. The diameters of the two cartridges are not the same, with the 32 Colt being approximately 0.020 inches smaller in diameter than the New Police. The later .32 New Police chambering was more popular than the 32 Colt chambering.
Colt made 49,000 of these New Police models. The New Police was famous as the first standardized double action revolver the New York City police bought, by order of then Police Commissioner Teddy Roosevelt. The New Police Revolver was replaced in the Colt catalog in 1907 by the improved Colt Police Positive.
The overall condition is fine. Original blue finish with mottled brown patina. Excellent action. Bright bore with strong rifling. The right grip is missing a chip from the butt, but overall remain good with average handling. Markings are legible. Visible numbers match.
