It's been a good year for Austin PD Revolvers
Usually I am lucky enough to come across 2-3 Austin Police Department revolvers in a year, however his year has been exceptional for my collection.
This Pre Model 10 marked Austin Police Department 4, came into my possession just this morning. I have known of this gun for well over a year now, stocks number to the gun, finally I have it. I will get to the station later this week to research it.
Just last week at a small show I was able to pick up this 66-2, which I have been working on for the last 7 months. What makes this gun so nice is it was issued to a friend of mine who was in my cadet class.
The Model 36 was sold to me as being an Amarillo PD gun. But I have seen Amarillo marked guns, and I was certain the seller was wrong. Research shows it does in fact belong to Austin PD.
Also shown is what I found this past month just rooting through boxes that men always have sitting on their tables at shows. I like old police leather.
