My best is a S&W 686 .357 Magnum which will handle .38. This is cheating.

The only true .38 I have is a Colt Official Police Pre-War .38 Special. My revolver was the 240'th off the production line of 1943 and has an original nickel finish which helps its rarity. The Blue Book shows a distinctions and price adjustment between the Pre-War and Post-War models. It has about 15% of its nickel finish worn down. I am about to have it refinished in nickel to bring it back to its glory. This model was the most popular law enforcement revolver of its era and then some.

It is just a pleasure to hold in your hand. I have sent off to Colt Archives for the "Letter" on this revolver.

After I have received the Letter from Colt and had the refinish, I will post pictures and discuss its history. This is a fun project. I only paid $200.00 for the revolver.
