I have some theoretical questions for a book I am writing.
First, would Colt dealers have offered LEO's a discount in the early fifties?
Secondly, what would have been the price of a used 1911, used maybe in WWII at that time, in pretty poor condidtion?
Would a LEO have been permitted to carry a 1911 as a duty weapon in any jurisdiction at that time?
Lastly, what would have been an affordable, realistic, (also battered and well used) revolver for a LEO to have carried at that time?
Any help is greatly appreciated. I did some internet searching, but seem to be coming up short on any real hard info.
Thanks!
Liam
