Officers Model's, had adjustable sights. The serial number you provided. Tracks to a Official Police. Fixed sight revolver, from the 30's. The adjustable sight Officers Model target revolvers. Were in a different serial number range. Make sure you have given us. The correct serial number. 0 -
hello, same number on yoke and frame. barrel marked officers model 38, heavy barrel. partridge front sight and rear sight is adjustable for windage not elevation. serial number I gave is correct. top & backstrap is gray matt to where the bottom of the grip starts as is top of trigger and backstrap is cross-hatch checkered, kinda a military type target pistol look? gun has not been refinished and is as close to new as can be. not sure what else I can tell you, says my pics are too large to show, thanks. 0 -
Sounds like an Officer's Model Match .38 Special. It has a frame the same size as the old Trooper and the Python. The front sight is the elevation adjustment point as the central blade pivots. I carried one for duty for a while then switched to a Model 19. 0 -
You clearly describe an Officer's Model Target. (Officer's Model Match is a later gun with all adjustment in rear sight.)
The heavy barrel came out in 1935.
Colt is not real careful about markings, I have no trouble with the idea that your OMT got numbered in the 1937 OP range. One ".41 frame" looks a lot like the other.
Unless you have a need to know worth the $75 for a Colt archive letter, I would just say 1937 and let it go at that.0 -
sounds like good advice, thanks guys, redman 0
