WTS: 1970 Colt 'Official Police' (Blued, NOT parkerized)

[WILSON]

I don't have the original box anymore.

I'm not sure exactly how many rounds I've put through this wheelgun, but the round count is low (200 ~ 300).

This was one of the first Colts actually rated for +P ammo, but all I ever used were normal 158gr FMJ's and a several boxes of Speer 135gr JHP's.


The timing is perfect and the gun locks up tight.


It's in excellent condition; hope the pictures speak for themselves.
The bore is perfect (did my best to grab an image).

The cylinder wear-ring is very light - I tried to capture it the best I could.
(specks are just dust)


I can't get the images to show the blueing accurately. It's not quite as 'black' as the pictures make it appear (its the same 'royal blue' as a Python).





$620.


Prefer Hammond Cabela's for the meet, but if there's somewhere easier for you, I'm flexible.

Year correction.

I entered the wrong date it the title, but I can't edit that.

The serial number is J313XX. According to Colt's website, that makes it a 1970

FWIW, this is a MKIII Official Police (Python frame).

We must have a few serious Colt collectors here?
This is a Python frame in excellent condition. We all know these are selling for.
