Description:
1923 mfg. COLT “ARMY SPECIAL” .38 Special Double Action C&R REVOLVER
Type Used by JAMES BOND in MOONRAKER
Here Ancestry Guns presents a C&R Colt Army Special Double Action Revolver, made in 1923 by the Colt Manufacturing Company with a production run from 1908 through 1927 in Hartford, Connecticut, with a serial number range between 291,000 and 540,000. The Colt Army Special was a heavier framed improved version designed by Colt to replace the various over-complicated models of Colt New Army and Navy revolvers. As mentioned above, it was in production from 1908 to 1927 in hopes of securing a military contract. The United States Army instead adopted the Colt M1909 New Service revolver in .45 Long Colt and later the Colt M1911 Self-Loading pistol in the .45 ACP cartridge after extensive trials.
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. Interestingly, in the 1979 movie “Moonraker”, James Bond stowed a Colt “Army Special” in a holster mounted in the glove compartment of his 1930 Bentley. How’s that for going in style!
