Issued to the Royal Hong Kong Police, this revolver bears a backstrap property stamp marked "RHKP 4430" and retains its factory lanyard ring, features typical of agency service sidearms. The clear markings and configuration provide strong provenance that is easy to verify at a glance.
Built on Colt's D-frame, it features a 4-inch tapered carbon-steel barrel and a six-shot fluted cylinder. The ejector rod is unshrouded with a knurled tip, reflecting the classic Police Positive Special pattern. The barrel rollmark includes ".38 COLT N.P." and ".38 S&W CTG." while the revolver is chambered in .38 S&W.
Sighting is straightforward and durable, with a half-moon blade front and a fixed notch in the topstrap. The action is double-action/single-action, and Colt's Positive Lock hammer-block safety is present.
The revolver wears a blued finish over its carbon-steel frame, cylinder, and receiver, paired with checkered black hard‑rubber grip panels that feature the Rampant Colt medallion. Manufactured in the USA in 1964, it represents a 1960s-era service configuration from a major American maker.
