** SOLD ** Colt Official Police Revolver Chambered in .38 Special Caliber **Cool Retro Stag Grips - Mfg 1949**

Description:
Here we have a 1949 mfg Colt Official Police revolver chambered in .38 special caliber. The Colt Official Police is a medium frame, double-action revolver with a six-round cylinder, primarily chambered for the .38 Special cartridge, and manufactured by the Colt's Manufacturing Company. Released in 1908 as the Colt Army Special, the revolver was renamed the "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. This particular example was used by a county sheriff as his duty sidearm and as such has been carried a lot but shot very little. As a result of having been carried on duty this gun has been reblued but remains in very good mechanical condition. There is some high edge wear but no serious dents or dings and the stag grips have no cracks or chips. This fine Colt would make a great addition to an existing collection or an outstanding daily user. This affordable Colt would be a great investment.
