I couldn't find a photo thread dedicated specifically to the Army Special. I know how popular they are and how much we love them in all calibers and barrel lengths. So, post 'em if ya got 'em!

This one is a nicely patina'ed 1923 in .38 Special caliber.

Beautiful! Also at $18.69 each, I'll take one in each barrel length and caliber! Lol

Four years on the shelf at Colt.... and a loooong time after the official Police was introduced.

Here is one also from 1910. Look at the Colt sign on the side.

Cam,
what surpises me: The early Army Special has the rounded cylinder catch - the New service got this style so much later (I just changed it on my NS)

Other than a few of the engraved or inscribed Colts this is the only Colt that I recall where the Rampant Colt logo was replaced with another marking from the factory:

Cam.

This is very, very special - never even heard about it.
