Recently aquired an interesting Colt .38 Bankers Special (.38 S&W caliber).
It's in nice shape, functions excellent, & lockes up tight. Does not appear to have been fired much.
The grips are not original, and it appears to have been re-blued. Overall it's a nice revolver.
The serial number (3746XX) dates it to 1936, per www.proofhouse.com.
On the bottom of the grip frame is engraved "W.C.S. No.154". It is believed the Bankers Special was once in the firearms inventory of the Wayne County Sheriff Department. Wayne County (MI) encompasses Detroit, MI.
Does anyone know how many Bankers Specials were manufactured?
