Colt Official Police Price Check

[wnycollector]

I ran across a 1960's vintage 90% 5" Colt Official Police .38 yesterday. The price tag was $299.95. I put a deposit down on it...just wondering if I got a decent deal?

I'm not a Colt expert, but I bought a Colt Official Police in .38 special from a good friend who does know about them. It was in similar condition and I paid a bit more, but he was still giving me a good deal on it.

Look at it another way. These days, $300 is not a bad price for an S&W Model 10 in that condition, and generally folks will get more excited when it says "Colt's" on it.
