Produced in 1920, this model is similar to the Police Positive but has slightly larger frame to accept the longer cylinder to chamber more powerful cartridges such as the 38 Special. Front blade sight and square notch rear sight. The left side of the barrel is marked "POLICE/ POSITIVE / 38 SPECIAL CTG." and the one line address is on the top. Checkered hard rubber grips with "COLT" markings at the tops and "C"s around the screw.

Rating Definition:

Excellent, with 98% of the original blue finish, showing a few light handling marks overall. Sharply checkered grips, with only a few minor pressure dents, and excellent action.

The Rampant Colt escutcheons at the top of each checkered hard rubber grip have flowers in front and behind the Colt. The latch, frame and yoke are assembly numbered 1168.
