Exceptional 1948 Pre/Post Colt Detective Special
Description:
1948 Colt Pre/Post War Detective Special chambered in 38 Special with a factory original 'Dual-Tone" blue finish. Also included is the original box numbered to the gun and rare factory test target. This is a collector grade package and a interesting "mix & match" of both Pre and Post War parts used during assembly in the fall of 1948. The finish still retains all of its deep dark shine. The leading edges are sharp and the grip straps are exceptional. The matte finish on the sides of the frame, back strap and cylinder scutes are in the same excellent condition as well. There is virtually no signs of handling or use. Overall the finish rates a strong 99%. The action is crisp, lock up is tight, and the bore is clean with strong lands and grooves. The factory "Coltwood" mottled plastic grips are excellent, with no apparent shrinkage that can be an issue with some examples from this time period. A Colt Archive Letter is included which documents shipment to the "Supervisor of Training, Police Training Division, New Orleans, Louisiana". The box is in good condition for it's age, but does show wear and tear. Over the past several years I've sold off the majority of my Detective Special collection (over 40 in all) and this is one of the very finest examples it's been my pleasure to own. Upgrading this 78-year-old package will be a tough task. Price includes free shipping CONUS.
