Nice Official Police. One of my favorite Colt revolvers. I have a 1944 OP with the checkered walnut grips. Also have a Police Positive Special made in the '20s, 1923 iirc.
Used to have an Army Special, made in 1914 iirc but I let that one get away.

Succombed to peer pressure and went and shot the northern lights tonight. The forum hated my last file sizes from the retired camera; it will hate these a lot, a lot... lol. Google link: https://photos.app.goo.gl/E5sEVd1PGzc2x6TF7

I got bored after an hour; watching them dance with the naked eye was super cool. I grabbed 65, and these are the 17 I liked best.

It was a Colt Police Special, not a Colt Police Positive Special. I think it was the model prior to the Police Positive. They must have changed something. Yeah, In my younger, less aware days I let that one get away from me.

Good find. My father had one almost like it. His was marked as a 38 Police Special. It was much as you describe in feel. I wish I had it today.
Thanks Marshal. Colt Police Positive Special?? I am guessing you sold or gave it away?
    Do you have any thoughts on the grips? Someone on another forum had this to say about the grips, "The grips are from a 1917 and didn't have a medallion.". The 1917 has a larger frame than the Colt OP IIRC? If so, could 1917 grips fit the Colt OP E frame??  Is it possible that the the 1908 Colt Army Special (prior to name change 1927) could have used non Colt medallion wooden grips?
