Colt only manufactured about 4,000 New Police Revolvers from 1882 to 1886. They were the final model introduced in the New Line series. This exceptional example was manufactured in 1884. The top of the barrel is marked with the two line address and the acid etched panel "NEW POLICE 38" on the left side. The left side of the frame is marked "38 CAL" and the serial number appears on the butt. The barrel and cylinder have London proofs. It features blade front and frame notch rear sights, niter blue small parts, "Bullseye" style ejector rod head, and smooth pearl grips.

Excellent with distinct exceptional original acid etched panel, 98% untouched original nickel, 90% bright original niter blue finish on small parts, and minimal handling and storage wear. The grips are also excellent aside from a small chip at the toe on the left and a small spot near the toe on each grip. Mechanically excellent. Easily one of the finest Colt New Police Revolvers extant.
