I just picked up a Colt Police Positive today. It currently has the UGLIEST white plastic grips I've ever seen! Not to mention that they are about 1/4" too short (where the top meets the frame... bottom fits fine).
It's a little worn but the price was right.
I'd like to start looking for the correct grips but I'm not sure what they should look like. Serial number is 376,594. I think the DOB should be about 1937 ??
I'm not sure if they should be the old black plastic COLT grips or the wooden ones.
I believe the gun takes the shorter Colt .38 round (.38 SW). The cylinder length is 1 1/4". Is this a D frame?
As soon as I can get it cleaned up and wearing the proper grips, I'll post a pic. I'd like to find some grips that have a little wear and match the finish on the gun.
The backstrap is marked Ry. Ex. Agy. which I believe is the old Railway Express Agency (Company?).
Thanks for the help!
