Colt Police Positive Special

MPinkston
I have a Colt Police Positive 38 Special and would like to know the age and value. The number on starts with 2 and has a C following it. The barrel is 2 1/2". Scratched on the inside of the grip is what appears to be September 1927.

    I know this has been covered before but I'm still unclear as to what calibers the police positive special came in. Ser# 6117xx. Thanks.

    Mine is .38 "Special"

    Imagine that!

    .38 Special
    .32-20
    which required the longer cylinder of the Police Positive Special.

    And
    .38 New Police or Police Positive (=.38 S&W)
    .32 New Police or Police Positive (= .32 S&W Long)
    carried over from the Police Positive because they still got orders for the shorter rounds after the PP was gone.

    I am pretty sure that it did come in .38 NP - else I would not have posted it - but I am working from memory because my books are gone. So somebody else might come along and say there was no such thing.

    So, a police positive SPECIAL did come in 38 Colt N.P.
