Show us your Colt Police and Pocket Positives!

[cluttonfred]

I have recently been looking at possibilities for a collection of 1930s guns, prompted in part by Larry Correia's Grimnoir series of novels and stumbling across some of the Guns of Film Noir clips that the NRA museum put out. I don't know much about older double-action revolvers and there's lots to learn.

I have "discovered" some of the beautiful old Colts and Smith & Wessons that I never really noticed before. The Colt Police Positive and diminutive Pocket Positive caught my eye in particular. Here are two nice ones and an earlier Colt New Pocket for sale in the same lot in an upcoming Rock Island Auction sale.

So, make me jealous, show us those Colt Police Postive and Pocket Positive revolvers in your collections!
