Rating Definition:
Near new in the original box. The revolver retains 99% plus original blue finish with a very faint cylinder drag line, some minor handling marks and some finish loss on the front face of the cylinder. The attractive pearl grips are as new. The markings and engraving are sharp. The action is excellent, and the revolver appears un-fired. The box is very fine with labels complete and showing some minor wear. This is truly an outstanding factory engraved “deluxe grade” Colt Police Positive revolver that would be impossible to improve upon. A phenomenal opportunity to own a true world class “best of” at a very reasonable price point.
