aHi Hi All, I am new here. I have been on the Smith and Wesson forum for a few years (same name...bigmoose), and was encouraged to post here about a Colt I just purchased.
I went to a small local gun show yesterday not expecting to buy anything. The second table I came to, I found this Colt Official Police .22. I know very little about pre war Colt .22s. I examined it closely, talked with the dealer ( it came from a collection of high condition older guns), and bought it purely on instinct. All the factors I look for told me it was quite a collectible revolver. I hope I was right.
Condition: 100%, most likely unfired.
Low serial number
Ivory grips. Absolutely perfect condition.
What do I have here? I spent about what you would expect to pay for a high condition post war K22 with a box.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I guess I could subscribe to the Colt forum, but I have more familiarity over here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Excuse the cell phone photos, I don't have possession yet, as there is some paperwork here in NY to complete.
