The “Positive” name came from Colt’s Positive Lock system, an internal hammer-block safety designed to prevent the revolver from firing unless the trigger was deliberately pulled.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"873\" data-end=\"1228\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; color: #212529; font-family: 'Open sans'; font-size: 16px;\"\u003eThis particular example is an early Police Positive .38, serial number 77827, placing it in the early production period at approximately 1914. Given the age of Colt production records and differing published serial references, we have described the manufacture date as circa 1914 rather than representing it as an exact factory-confirmed date.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"1230\" data-end=\"1481\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; color: #212529; font-family: 'Open sans'; font-size: 16px;\"\u003eThe barrel is correctly marked “POLICE POSITIVE .38” and it is chambered in .38 Colt New Police, which is the Colt designation for the .38 S\u0026amp;W cartridge — importantly, this revolver is not .38 Special.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"1483\" data-end=\"1793\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; color: #212529; font-family: 'Open sans'; font-size: 16px;\"\u003eFor a revolver that’s approximately 110 years old, it presents very nicely. It remains in good condition for its age, retaining a good amount of finish with general handling marks, scratches and wear consistent with a firearm of this vintage. The timber grips also present well and add plenty of character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"1795\" data-end=\"1923\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; color: #212529; font-family: 'Open sans'; font-size: 16px;\"\u003eA great little piece for the Colt collector or anyone looking for an early 20th-century revolver with genuine history behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"1925\" data-end=\"2158\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; color: #212529; font-family: 'Open sans'; font-size: 16px;\"\u003e\u003cspan data-start=\"1925\" data-end=\"1934\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder;\"\u003eMake:\u003c\/span\u003e Colt\u003cbr data-start=\"1939\" data-end=\"1942\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003e\u003cspan data-start=\"1942\" data-end=\"1952\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder;\"\u003eModel:\u003c\/span\u003e Police Positive\u003cbr data-start=\"1968\" data-end=\"1971\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003e\u003cspan data-start=\"1971\" data-end=\"1983\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder;\"\u003eCalibre:\u003c\/span\u003e .38 Colt New Police \/ .38 S\u0026amp;W\u003cbr data-start=\"2013\" data-end=\"2016\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003e\u003cspan data-start=\"2016\" data-end=\"2027\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder;\"\u003eAction:\u003c\/span\u003e Double Action Revolver\u003cbr data-start=\"2050\" data-end=\"2053\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003e\u003cspan data-start=\"2053\" data-end=\"2066\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder;\"\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/span\u003e 6 Shot\u003cbr data-start=\"2073\" data-end=\"2076\" data-is-only-node=\"\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003e\u003cspan data-start=\"2076\" data-end=\"2094\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder;\"\u003eBarrel Length:\u003c\/span\u003e 4″\u003cbr data-start=\"2097\" data-end=\"2100\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003e\u003cspan data-start=\"2100\" data-end=\"2117\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder;\"\u003eManufactured:\u003c\/span\u003e Circa 1914\u003cbr data-start=\"2128\" data-end=\"2131\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003e\u003cspan data-start=\"2131\" data-end=\"2145\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder;\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/span\u003e Good for age\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"2160\" data-end=\"2316\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; color: #212529; font-family: 'Open sans'; font-size: 16px;\"\u003e\u003cspan data-start=\"2160\" data-end=\"2184\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder;\"\u003eShipping \u0026amp; Transfers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2184\" data-end=\"2187\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003eShipping available to your closest dealer. $80 per firearm, including freight.
