Manufactured in 1958, this Official Police represents the post‑war Colt E‑frame pattern with a 5-inch barrel, a configuration prized for its classic lines and period‑correct details. The revolver is built on blued carbon steel throughout, including the frame, receiver, barrel, and fluted six‑shot cylinder.
