Description:
Colt Police Positive Revolver – .32 Colt New Police (Circa 1928–1929) | "32 on .38 Frame"

Manufacturer: Colt's Patent Fire Arms Manufacturing Co.
Model: Police Positive (.32 caliber built on the larger .38-size frame)
Serial Number: 327033
Year of Manufacture: Circa 1928–1929 (estimated via documented Colt serial number sequence for this specific ".32 on .38 frame" variant; a Colt Archive Letter can confirm the exact shipping date)
Caliber: .32 Colt New Police (marked "Police Positive .32 Police Ctg." on barrel)
Barrel Length: 4 inches
Type: Double-Action Revolver, 6-shot

Condition: Very Good
This Police Positive shows a slight patina to the metal consistent with age, and the grips show a small amount of wear — but there are no major scratches or dents. Overall a very good, honest example of a nearly century-old Colt.

About this Colt Police Positive: This example represents a lesser-known but well-documented Colt configuration: a .32-caliber Police Positive built on the larger .38-size frame, rather than the standard small .32 frame. Most commonly ordered with the longer 4", 5", or 6" barrel lengths, these "32 on .38 frame" guns are a genuine point of interest for Colt collectors. Introduced in 1905 with Colt's innovative "Positive Lock" internal hammer-block safety, the Police Positive became a mainstay of early 20th-century law enforcement and a lasting piece of American firearms history.

Photo Disclaimer
Photos are taken under intense, high-definition lighting to give buyers the clearest possible view of the firearm's true condition. This lighting can occasionally make minor blemishes — small scuffs, finish wear, or surface marks — appear more pronounced than they are in hand. Please call us with any questions about the condition or severity of a specific blemish before or purchasing — we're happy to give you a direct, honest assessment.
