What’s Included
- Eibar Colt Police Positive pattern .32-20 Win. revolver
Made in Spain in 1924, this double-action/single-action revolver follows the Colt Police Positive pattern with a familiar control layout and frame profile. It features the Colt-pattern rearward-pull cylinder latch, a three-screw sideplate on the left side, and a long-fluted six-shot cylinder.
The 5-inch round barrel pairs with an unshrouded ejector rod and a forward locking lug. Sighting is straightforward and robust, with a half-moon front sight and a topstrap groove serving as the rear sight.
Construction is all-steel, including the barrel, frame, cylinder, and receiver. The revolver wears two-piece checkered hard-rubber grip panels on a round-butt frame, keeping to the classic Police Positive–style ergonomics.
Export and origin markings include "MADE IN SPAIN" and "EIBAR (ESPANA) ANO 1924," along with small crowned or crest-like proofs on the cylinder and barrel flat. The butt carries a serial number, and the barrel flat shows an assembly number, consistent with Eibar-trade production practices of the period.
As a clone Police Positive revolver from the Eibar region, this piece reflects the Spanish manufacturing tradition of the era while delivering the recognizable features and handling of the pattern it follows.
