Unless somebody knows for sure, or you can get a letter from Colt showing sale to a specific department, pick a city that starts with an "A".

Atlanta
Albuquerque
Austin
Amarillo
Altuna
Alton
Alto Pass.........And on and on.

A LOT of police departments issued Colt DS's.

For that matter is could have been issued by the Agriculture and Produce Department.

I get lots of agency marked guns, but they are usually 4 inch. I seldom see a 2 inch gun with an agency mark.

I REALLY don't want to spend the money and wait 6 months for Colt to letter this thing.

And yes, there are still some DS's left as well as a number of other goodies that came in and I have on the website.

I did get an unfired later style nickel DS in, but it went out faster than a Mexican cigar!
