Colt Police Positive
The local pawn shop has recently added 4 Colt Police Positive revolvers to their display case. All show a patent date of July 4, 1905. One in particular is chambered 38 S&W, with a 6" bbl., s/n 866xx. This gun is parkerized. Could that be original? And if so is it rare and how would it effect value. The finish is 95% plus.

I was visiting a lady in North Carolina and she showed me this revolver. It's a Police Positive in WRF. The serial # I believe is 32,3XX and the revolver is very tight, the blue's pretty fair and it seems to function O.K.
She got the gun and holster from her late uncle and knows nothing about it. I'm clueless about Colts, but would like to know the approximate age and value of this one. Also, is the WRF chambering less common? Any information would be appreciated. She's not interested in selling it. Thanks.

I used to have 4 of these, still have 2 in pieces, one was marked, "Policia Federal De Columbia." I think the grips were originally walnut, but replaced at some point--probably due to the ravages of the tropical climate. I believe they were imported back into the U.S. around 1997. 0 -
Letters on bottom of barrel are CAI (Century Arms International) .. You can find them in 38 s&w and 38 special... I just sold one for
under 200.00... was a nice little revolver...Century Arms is the
importer...
