Does any one know when the following revolvers were made based on their serial number?
Colt Official Police .38
715837
Official Police .38 Special CTG.
877810
I was told by a dealer that I can get a letter from colt based on the serial number documenting this history of the revolver from owner to owner ("Came off the line in 1955 and bought by Officer Joe Friday in 1956 bla bbla bla bla sold to Officer Frank Smith in 1985 and sold to Collectors Firearms in 2002 and sold to Doug in 2003") How detailed is that? I was told it's about $100 dollars to get the letter.
Thanks
Doug
