Colt officers model 38

Picked up this gem recently. Made in 1927 and what caught my eye was the Masonic square and compass on the right side. It has a butt plate stating it was awarded as a prize in a 1930 competition. Original pearl grips.

"...May we meet upon the level, and part upon the square..."

That's a good looking revolver.

Excellent gun. While I think the factory grip medallions were of the “deep dish” type in that era, a factory letter might prove themto be original. This one is worthy of a $100 factory letter and the three or four months it takes to get it.

Mother of pearl "MOP" grips on older revolvers are cool!
