Description:
1916 mfr COLT POLICE POSITIVE Revolver .38 NP C&R 6” Barrel 6-Shot Cylinder

Early-20th Century LE Sidearm

Here we present a C&R Colt Police Positive made in 1916 by the Colt Manufacturing Company with a production run from 1907 through 1995 in Hartford, Connecticut. The Colt Police Positive is a medium-frame, double-action revolver featuring a six-round cylinder chambered in .38 caliber. It was designed primarily for sale to federal, state, or local law enforcement agencies and enjoys the distinction of being Colt’s most widely produced revolver design with over 750,000 built.

This caliber revolver was the precursor to the Police Positive Special. The Police Positive Special was a small improvement over Colt's earlier Police Positive model, the only differences being a slightly lengthened cylinder and elongated and strengthened frame to allow the chambering of the longer, more powerful .32-20 Winchester and .38 Special cartridges. It was also made in .32 Colt New Police and .38 Colt New Police. It was made with 4", 5" and 6" barrels and came with either wood or hard rubber grips.

The overall condition is near fine. Original blue finish. The action is excellent. The bore is shiny bright with sharp rifling. The grips are solid. Numbers match.
