[SON 044]

I was introduced to Colt Revolvers during my first marriage when the in-laws handed me an old official police (with beautiful stag grips) carried by wife’s grandfather when he was a police office in Minnesota.

When my wife and I went our separate ways I returned the pistol to her. Unbeknownst to me her next husband traded the heirloom away for a rifle project of his own. The O.P. was gone and ultimately so was the next husband.

Ten years later my son, grows to a young man who could appreciate his grandfather’s revolver. I encourage to ask his mother for the revolver. Alas it is gone forever.

I still have the holster and bullet loops so I find an appropriate Official Police and get it for him for Christmas. It’s such a nice revolver I get one for myself. I am now hooked on collecting old revolvers. I rather prefer revolvers with character as I am somewhat the worse for wear myself.

That’s my Colt story, I will post my pictures in the appropriate forum. Thanks
