[QUOTE="gerhard1, post: 794259, member: 5391"] Nice work!! I prefer the 4" barrel though. Just a guess, but the gun looks like it was made in the 1930's or earlier. Especially if those are the original grips. I also notice the new style Dick Special barrel. In case you are interested, around 1952 or so, Colt made the bottom of the frame above the trigger guard flatter, and they also redesigned the sights, making them wider, and more rugged. I have recently seen and shot a couple of Colt's Police Positive (not to be confused with the Police Positive Special) revolvers in 32 Colt New Police, from WWI that still shot well. The serial numbers confirmed the dates of manufacture as 1914 and 1918. [/QUOTE]
