I wanted to show off my most recent purchase. It is (I believe) a 1908 Police Positive 38 - someone else has said they think 1906. Serial number under the crane is 23728. I think it is a "transitional" because it says Colt's New Police on the frame and COLT POLICE POSITIVE 38 on the barrel. It is mechanically in great condition with an very good bore. It looks better in person than in these pictures. There appear to be traces of fire blue on the top of the hammer and maybe on the trigger. The pictures seem to be highlighting the flaws to the finish, but it's actually not bad, with honest wear.
A question - is there a preference as to shooting 38 Long Colt or short Colt, or does it matter? THanks all.
