BDMERC Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 Nice! Actually more rare than Colt 1921's according to some writers (and collectors) Memphis P D I believe is who I researched as having acquired "a number" of these and marked them accordingly.. Most of these guns trickled out into circulation from MPD, and most appeared in original, un -shot condition through the 1980's! Apparently City purchased more for a P.R. move than actual use. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
