    1906 Colt Pistol


    TEXT 602-909-0603


    TRADED >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>$800.00 ---- NEW PRICE 650.00


    One of the very first Police Positive Pistols made by Colt. All original and a 4 digit serial number. I have done research at Colt and this is a true low number 4 digit 1906 Pistol chambered in .38 S&W with some wear from being out in and out of a holster. It is marked "New Police" on the frame and Police Positive on the barrel. It has a 4 inch barrel, a six shot cylinder, fixed sights, and checkered hard rubber grips. It is in great condition for its age ( 112 years old ) with the majority of the original bluing remaining. Check out the pictures and will consider trades.

    Buddy has one of these made in 1923. Cool guns. His is .38 short. Have you fired it recently? I've gone through my friends but don't know if I would want to fire it or not considering the barrel is a bit corroded. You may be asking a little low on the price as well. Check gunbroker for comparable guns and prices.

    It has been to a gunsmith and inspected/fired recently. I have had two "COLT" experts look at it, hence the price.

    The .38 S&W (9×20mmR) is a revolver cartridge developed by Smith & Wesson in 1877. ... Though similar in name, it is not interchangeable with the later .38 Smith & Wesson Special due to a different case shape and slightly larger bullet diameter. The .38 Colt New Police was Colt's Manufacturing Company's proprietary name for what was essentially the .38 S&W with a flat-nosed bullet.

    There was a .38 S&W, which was shorter, tapered, and had a different bullet diameter. . 38 Special has a longer case, straight walled, has more power, and is not really .38 caliber at all, being .357. .38 cartridge designations are many. There was a .38 Long Colt.

    This pistol is chambered in .38 S&W (aka 38 short)
