Can anyone give me any info on this pistol. I inherited it recently. It was My Grandfathers. At times he was a State Trooper and local city policeman in the North East. From the serial number I believe it was manufactured in 1924. It has a 2 and half inch barrel and on the barrel on the left side is printed POLICE POSITIVE POLICE 32 CTG. On the top of the barrel is printed
COLTS PT F.A. MFG. CO. HARTFORD. CT.USA
PAT'D AUG. 5. 1884 JUNE. 5. 1900 JULY 4. 1905
The writing on the top is very small and the writing on the left side is a little larger and easier to read. My main question is what 32 caliber cartridge was this pistol designed to fire.
