Looking for photos of cops armed with Detective Special revolvers

[Krag]

I'm trying to find some photos of police officers (real or movie/TV) armed with Detective Special revolvers. Does anyone have some or know where I can find some?

Many thanks.

I just finished watching Bullitt with Steve McQueen and I think he was carrying one.

I think Bullitt had a Diamondback.

Go to a video rental store that stocks old (classic) movies and look for films with actors like Humphrey Bogart.

2" 'belly guns'..

An old black and white tv series called 'Dragnet' had the featured character ( Jack Webb) using a small 2" revolver.

Also " Highway Patrol' featuring Broderick Crawford where the main character used/carried a 2" revover.

I'm sure there are others.

Thanks guys, but what I'm really looking for are some websites with photos I can download or if you have photos you can e-mail me.

Thanks.

I can't help you with the photo, but am sure that Tom Hanks used one in "Catch Me If You Can".

Thirties - thanks. I've contacted them. Any more out here?

The series mentioned had actors armed with S&W snubs. So did, "Peter Gunn".

"Phillip Marlowe" had two Colts, a DS and a Police Positive Special, which he kept in a recess under his car dash.

I think one or more of the PI's on, "77 Sunset Strip" sometimes used a DS or Cobra , others had Chief's Special S&W's.

No idea if pix from these shows are on the Net.

I believe Madigan used a Detective Special. Henry Fonda, Richard Widmark, Inger Stevens.

Ruby wasn't a cop........but still, an historic snubby moment...somewhat altered haha.

Ruby used a Cobra, not a Dick Special.

 

[Atticus]

Yes.. it was a Cobra.

For vintage DA goodness, nothing beats the awesome film "LA Confidential."

Here, IIRC, is a Dick Special being turned against its owner:
