This revolver is a First Issue Police Positive Special built on Colt's D-frame architecture and produced in 1919 in the United States. The serial number is located on the crane, consistent with the model's early production details.
It is chambered in .32-20 W.C.F. and uses a six-shot swing-out cylinder. The action is double-action/single-action, and it incorporates the Colt Positive Lock hammer block safety.
The 3.25 in barrel is paired with fixed sights: a half-moon front blade and a square-notch rear milled into the topstrap. An unshrouded ejector rod with a knurled tip stops short of the muzzle, supporting rapid extraction.
Construction is blued carbon steel throughout, including the frame and cylinder. Markings include "POLICE POSITIVE SPECIAL 32-20 W.C.F." on the left barrel, Colt's two-line address and patent information on the top barrel, and the Rampant Colt logo on the right frame. The revolver wears black hard-rubber checkered grips with the "COLT" oval and a round-butt profile.
