Comparatively few of these Officer Models were made. The basic difference between it and the Official Police Model are the adjustible sights. To me it looks like the heavy barrel, the trigger assembly, and the grips of the gun in the photos are identical to my 6" OP except for the barrel markings that say Officers Model instead of Official Police. The frames look to me like they came off the same assembly line as those of the OP's, but were just machined differently afterward, with the top straps of the Officers Model frames left mostly flat on top to accept adjustible sights instead of getting the fancy fixed rear sight grooving that was given to the OP's.
