My Father in Law gave me his 1925 Colt Police Positive Special in .38 Special and a Imperial made M4 carbine bayonet.
The Colt came to him via his father in law. Looking up the SN it shows a 1925 production date. My mother in law remembers her father shooting it once and then putting it away. My FiL never shot it. It has a bit of muzzle wear on the left front and even less on the right, most likely from putting it in a gun rug over the years. The action is very tight, chambers and bore in perfect condition. Barrel length is 5". The revolver feels tiny. like a .22 in my hand. I imagine a beat cop back in the day was happy to carry something this small on his hip for 10 hours a day.
The M4 bayonet is in excellent condition. No idea on the production date but it is post-war due to the plastic grips. He told me that when his ANG unit switched out of M1 carbines to M16s the M4 bayonets were given to anyone who wanted one so he snagged this one.
i am very grateful to him for the gifts and when the time comes I will pass the Colt along to my son in law.
