I'm putting together a 'collection' of firearms that LEOs from the 1960s would have had access to. My most recent acquisitions are a 1954 Winchester M12 riot gun and a Colt 'Official Police' .38 Special.

My OP has a 4-inch barrel and came with the original 'Coltwood' grips. It has moderate holster wear, but locks up tight and has a VERY smooth action. The serial number on the OP is #775xxx.

Any information about it would be appreciated.
 
I have an Officer's Model Target #780XXX and I believe these were numbered with the OPs. Mine was made in 1950 so yours is either the same year or maybe 1949.
 
Super! That melds perfectly with my 1954 Winchester M12. :D

Thanks, guys!

BTW.....I shot it this afternoon. It's a real sweet shooter.
