Description

Up for auction is a classic Colt Police Positive Special revolver chambered in .32-20 WCF, featuring a 5" barrel, blued finish, and original box. Manufactured by Colt's Manufacturing Company, the Police Positive Special is one of Colt’s most respected early double-action revolvers, prized for its quality craftsmanship, smooth action, and historical significance.

Introduced in the early 1900s, the Police Positive Special was designed as a slightly larger-framed version of the standard Police Positive to accommodate longer cartridges such as the .32-20 Winchester Center Fire and .38 Special. These revolvers became popular among law enforcement officers, outdoorsmen, and civilian shooters for their reliability and accuracy.

The .32-20 WCF chambering adds additional collector appeal, as the cartridge was widely used in both revolvers and lever-action rifles during the early 20th century, making it a favorite among sportsmen and ranchers of the era.

Features include:

• .32-20 WCF chambering
• 5" barrel
• Blued finish
• Double-action/single-action operation
• Colt six-shot cylinder
• Fixed sights
• Factory-style grip panels
• Original factory box included

This revolver appears to be in very good vintage condition with honest handling and storage wear consistent with age. The blued finish retains a pleasing appearance with light edge wear, scattered marks, and minor thinning typical of a collectible revolver from this period. The grips remain attractive and the included original box significantly enhances collector and display value. Bore condition, timing, lockup, markings, and overall mechanical function should be carefully inspected by prospective bidders using the provided photographs.

Collectors continue to seek Colt Police Positive Special revolvers due to their excellent build quality, classic Colt action, and strong connection to early American law enforcement and sporting history. Boxed examples in desirable calibers such as .32-20 WCF are increasingly difficult to locate.

An outstanding opportunity to acquire a vintage Colt revolver with original packaging and strong collector appeal. Please review all photographs carefully for exact condition details and bid accordingly. Firearm is sold as-is with no warranties expressed or implied and must ship to a valid FFL where permitted by law.
