RARE Colt Officers Model .32 Target (Heavy Barrel 6-inch, .32 S&W Long, w/ Factory Letter!)
Description:
This is a rare Colt Police Positive Officer's Model in .32 caliber with a 6-inch Heavy Barrel with an excellent bore. This pistol has an elevation adjustable Patridge front sight and windage adjustable rear sight. The left side of the barrel has “Colt Officers Model 32” with “Heavy Barrel” beneath, flanked by the Maltese cross marking.
Production estimates for revolvers chambered in this cartridge range from about 800 - 1500 during the span of 1939 to 1941. This revolver was made in 1939 and is in wonderful condition and comes with a Colt factory letter.
The factory letter states that this gun was shipped with a 6” barrel, blue finish, .32 Colt cartridge and stocks not listed. The gun was sold to the Sportmans' Supply Co. of Pittsburg, PA on June, 13th of 1939 in a 1 of 1 gun shipment. Colt Archives states that nearly all of the guns produced were shipped to the state of Massachusetts in multiple shipments to various government agencies. Very rarely were they sold commercially, like this pristine example was.
The metal surfaces retain about 99% of the original blue finish with no muzzle wear and an almost imperceptible, very faint turn ring on the cylinder. There are a few random, scattered light scratches on the barrel and the rear of the frame. The un-numbered checkered walnut factory grips with silver Colt medallions are in excellent condition.
