    New to the forum from New Hampshire...

    I carried a DS in the Navy in 1966. I came out and brought home a Remington Rand 1911A1 and carried it on the job in 1971. I found an original Trooper .357 in 1972 and have cherished the Colt's guns since. I have 1911A1s, Combat Commanders in .45acp. I have a sweet Python and the old Trooper in the safe. About 20 years ago I found an Officer's Match in .38 Long Colt and with real pearl grips and I still enjoy it. Today I was in the mood to get rid of my Sig P238 and when I went in the favorite shop. ( I ain't telling you guys where it is because I intend to buy everything they have before I die.) I spotted a Colt Detective Special from 1967 with a set of old and junky Franzite grips in white. I cajoled it out of the case and looked at it for approximately .0019 of one second before I realized that it was a rare bird. The screw heads are perfexct and appear to have never been attended by a driver. The blue finish is 99+% and it looks as if the gun has been in grandpa's sock drawer for 45 years. Soon as I got home I ordered a new set of black plastic grips with brass Colt medallions and ordered a Don Hume holster. HKS speedloaders for S&W M10s fit just so. I am going to sell some S&Ws and start looking for more Colt's.
    I am a retired cop. Just retired from the NH Dept of Safety in 2009 and am happily looking for more Colts.

    Welcome to the Coltforum, and thanks for your service, aryfrosty!

    I would love to see some photos of your OMM with the pearl stocks. I bet that is one sweet Colt!
