Welcome to the forum.
Those pre-WWII Colt Detective Specials are nice guns IMO.
As for learning about Colt's wheelguns you are at the right place.

Hello Alvaro; welcome to the Colt Forum. Be sure to ask your revolver questions in the revolver forum here: Colt Revolvers

Glad to have you here!

 

[ColtVenezuela]

Thanks Tony! I will do it.

ColtVenezuela, thanks for showing your DS!

I cannot tell from your photo whether your DS has been refinished. If the gun locks up, and is in timing, I do not see any reason why you would want to refinish it. If you want to shine it up a bit, use Flitz polish, a microfiber cloth, and some hours of gently polishing the revolver. There are many threads here at Coltforum on polishing nickel plated guns.

Welcome to the Forum, Alvaro! It's nice to see you can own a handgun in Venezuela. Hopefully it's legal there!
