I've got a Colt Police Positive 4" in 32 Colt New Police caliber. It has a last patent date of 1905 on the barrel. The serial number is 45XXX.
It has a flat release latch and not a chess-pawn release latch. According to my Blue Book serial numbers for first production in 1907 don't start until 47XXX.
Anybody got any info? I know Colt had a habit of using up parts during a transition... maybe this is a transition or first production of the first issue?
