Manufactured in 1936, this is an exceptional example of a Colt Detective Special revolver. The right of the barrel is marked with the two-line address/patent dates, while the left has the caliber and model marking. The left of the frame has the Rampant Colt, as well as "VP" and "0" near the trigger guard. It has standard sights, checkered trigger, and is fitted with a pair of checkered walnut grips with Colt medallions. Includes a replacement factory box that has a reproduction end label and appears to be faintly numbered to a different gun.

Exceptionally fine, retains 95% of the original blue finish with some light edge wear, a few scattered light freckles, and small patches of lightly cleaned oxidation on the butt and right of the frame. The grips are excellent with only the slightest handling marks and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. The box is very fine with some mild corner/edge wear.
