FACTORY STAMPED & DOCUMENTED COLT OFFICIAL POLICE .38 SPECIAL WITH FACTORY LETTER
Description: INTERESTING FACTORY STAMPED AND DOCUMENTED COLT OFFICIAL POLICE .38 SPECIAL WITH FACTORY LETTER, #895XXX, SHIPPED 1964. The butt on this Colt is factory stamped “N.Y.S. CD.” I sent for a factory letter from Colt on this one and found out it was one of 50 revolvers intended for the New York State Conservation Department, Albany, NY on August 14, 1964. The governor of New York from 1959-1973 was Nelson Rockefeller. At this time he made a big push for conservation measures in the state and this revolver was part of it. It was probably issued to Forest Rangers or Fish and Game Officers. It was obviously carried as the right checkered walnut grip panel is warn almost smooth on the rear portion while the left panel is not particularly worn- typical of right-hand holster carry where that side is exposed and rubbed. There is blue wear streak on the right side of the barrel (light) and some outside edge wear on the cylinder. The back strap blue is good, but thinning a little. Aside from this light holster wear, most of the factory blue is intact. Markings are excellent, action is tight and the bore is minty bright. No doubt carried a bit and shot little. Nice piece of 1960s New York State history!
