Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
In 1927 Colt decided to rename the Army Special to more reflect the actual buyers of the gun, so the Army Special name was changed to the Official Police.
That was just what the gun was, THE official police issue revolver for a great many police departments like the New York City Police, Boston Police, and Federal agencies like the FBI and Treasury Department.
The Official Police would serve as a prime police issue gun into the 1960s, and was highly favored by private guard services, industrial plant guards, and civilian gun owners wanting a powerful and strong revolver.
Condition and Contents:
As you can see in the many high resolution photos, this Python is in EXCELLENT condition showing no indications of extensive consumer use or handling that we can see whatsoever. This Custom Target revolver is sure to be a centerpiece of any collection.
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3 day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
