Colt Official Police Positive Revolver

4 inch barrel, 6 rounds .38 spl

SN 743134 puts it 1947-48 Vintage

Likely history. Wood grips were replaced by 'Coltwood' molded plastic grips. Instead of the normal bluing, the revolver was given a dull Parkerized finish. Dubbed the Colt Commando, the new weapon was primarily used to arm units of Military police, security guards at U.S. defense plant installations and shipyards, as well as limited clandestine issue to agencies involved in overseas espionage and military intelligence. 

This one likely has history in the Detroit area, LE or security as it belonged to My Brother-in-Laws Father. BIL passed recently and was a retired Detroit City Arson Investigator. 

Condition is good for its age. Chip out of the left side grip. Locks up tight. Minimal cylinder turn line. Both wood and plastic grips are available on eBay. The Revolver Spent the prior 70 years in an attic storage area near Alpena, MI. 

$325

 Safety Reminder for Buyers and Sellers 

This is an automatic reply meant to protect you as a buyer and a seller on TGO.

• Use the Buyer/Seller Feedback feature to research who you are dealing with.   Please come back and leave feedback for each other after the transaction is complete.  Your experience will help others.
   
• Never agree to use an electronic form of payment to buy or sell a gun!  None of the electronic payment services will protect you against fraud in a firearms transaction.  They all have terms of service FORBIDDING the use of their services to buy/sell guns.  DON'T DO IT.
   
• Be very wary of anyone who insists on brokering a deal in private or outside of TGO.  Scammers almost always prefer to operate out of the public eye.
