A friend of mine spotted a very nice circa 1935 Colt Police Positive with black rubber grips.

I'm very interested in it, but I'm not exactly sure what cartridge it's chambered for.

The tag says ".32 Police."

I know Colt called the .32 S&W Long the .32 New Police, but I've never heard of a .32 Police cartridge. He can't remember how the barrel was marked, and it doesn't show up on the photo he sent me.

Can anyone verify exactly what cartridge we're talking about?
