colt police positive 38 special serial number lookup

It was worth MUCH more than a stock Colt. I had a guy ask me to look at his inherited old Colt recently. It could be worth more based on markings, barrel length or special order options. I would generically suggest a insurance value of $300.00. Fitz made grips and Dixie sells modern replica grips. I have bought parts and grips for old Colts on line. Remington or other oil for lube and a spray or wipe of Birchwood Casey Sheath will protect what finish is left. A good application of Hoppes and a generic clening kit are about all you need. Check into brake parts cleaner in aerosol cans for cleaning. My own 38 S&W Police Positive is loaded with 147 gr Remington ammo. The revolver has a pretty faithful following. 38 Special lead 'cowboy' ammo could be used in it if it is a 38 Special. Now, having said that, you own it and if you really want to clean it and replace the grips for it to be your sometimes house revolver, do so. If it has a 'history', I would leave it as is.

If it is a heirloom for the family, I would leave it in the original condition. Is it a 38 S&W (short) or a 38 Special? I appreciate fine old firearms as they are.

The serial # is 840xxx and it was made in Stratford, Ct.Maybe. This is a discussion on Older Charter Arms Snubby within the Pistols & Revolvers forums, part of the Pistol & Revolver Forum category I have had this old Undercover revolver for a number of years. The second one was purchased new in January of 1990 and is a Target Bulldog. The one is a Bulldog Pug, which was purchased new ca Sept 1987 and is serial Number 1018XXX.

I have two Charter Arms revolvers, both in.44 Spl., both with the Stratford, CT barrel impression. I gather from some quick research that the revolvers are probably 20-25 years. Both are Charter Arms (1st Generation: 593xxx 798xxx) Undercover.38 (one blued the other stainless) that have less than 25 rounds and have been kept in superb shape - built in Stratford, CT. If you or someone you know has one of these pieces, I would appreciate if you. These will be ANY revolver with a barrel address (found on right side of all barrels) of either Bridgeport Connecticut (serial numbers less than 31,000?) or Stratford Connecticut (serial numbers less than 1,100,000?). I am in the process of putting together a data base on 'First Generation' Charter Arms revolvers.
