*EXTREMELY RARE FACTORY ENGRAVED COLT POLICE POSITIVE DA REVOLVER. SN 335524. Cal. 32-20. Blue finish with 4″ bbl, half moon front sight and fixed rear sight groove in the top strap. Revolver is factory engraved by master engraver Wilbur Glahn in about “B” coverage foliate arabesque patterns with fine patterns on the lands between the flutes of the cylinder. Buttstrap, top strap & bottom front of frame are engraved in Mr. Glahn’s distinctive “V” patterns. Revolver is mounted with smooth ivory grips that have silver rampant Colt medallions and are probably factory original to this revolver. Also accompanied by an orig, dark burgundy, hinged lid, cardboard box with black & white end label for a 4″ Police Positive, cal. 38, with wood grips & blue finish numbered “402151” on bottom. Although this revolver is not accompanied by a factory letter there is no doubt that this is Wilbur Glahn’s engraving and Mr. Glahn was the Colt factory engraver during the time frame this revolver was produced. CONDITION: Extremely fine. Overall retains 93-95% crisp orig factory blue with muzzle edge wear and some light touchup around the muzzle; overall revolver appears to be unfired with virtually all of the orig factory blue remaining in chambers of cyl & bore.

Box has some repaired corners & edges, otherwise is fine. 4-45832 JR236 (4,000-6,000)
