Colt Pocket Positive .32 Police Ctg. Serial Number 70124
(ca. 1914) - Factory Display Cutaway, cutaway on right
side of gun and pinned to render the action non-functional.
Later Colt recessed medallion mother of pearl grips which
presumably were updated for use on a later display.
Right side of pistol showing unique attachment of left
grip, cutaway cylinder and milled opening in barrel.
Revolver also has the number "8" on the frame to the lower
rear of the cylinder. Pin to hold the trigger in place
is also visible from this view. Larger hole above the
grip area and hole at the top front of the trigger guard are
both threaded to receive a screw for mounting on a Colt
Factory Display Board.
The Colt Historian researched this revolver and was able to
determine that although they could not find any information
on this revolver in the shipping records, there are some
interesting notations in the Production records that seem to
support the present configuration of this piece. The
first notation indicates that this serial number was
"Condemned March 21, 1914." Then there is a second
handwritten notation that states "Tansley for exhibition",
the date April 10, 1914 and a Job # 5279. The third
notation states that this serial number was "Scrapped on
March 23, 1942."
