Condition Overview
This COLT POLICE POSITIVE is a clearly used, honest survivor offered at $379.99. The right grip has a missing chip and a crack running from the bottom corner toward the middle that has been repaired with glue. That same glue is securing the right grip to the frame. The metal shows corrosion on both sides of the frame and visible corrosion on the cylinder. Surface wear includes numerous scratches from handling over the years. Serial number: 9708.
Grip and Frame Notes
The glued repair and chip in the right grip make this example suited for a collector seeking original patina or a restorer planning a grip replacement. When a grip is glued to the frame, expect some fitting work to cleanly re-seat a replacement. Inspect the frame mounting area carefully for any material loss where glue was applied.
Cylinder and Finish
Frame and cylinder corrosion indicate a period of exposure to humid conditions. Corrosion in the cylinder throat and on the exterior surfaces can impact timing and lockup; a competent gunsmith should check headspacing, cylinder timing and bore condition before firing. For a display piece or parts donor, the corrosion and scratches add character and value in a different way than a factory-fresh example.
As a Colt example, the model name Various reflects its assembly and parts interchangeability across Colt’s lineup of service revolvers. Colt revolvers are historically notable for robust lockwork and simple lines, making them attractive for collectors and hobby gunsmiths.
For buyers: the $379.99 price point positions this COLT POLICE POSITIVE as an affordable restoration candidate or a parts source for collectors.
