I have a poor picture of my 1920s vintage Police Positive Special. You will see that it has the narrow grip frame. I can post from a regular computer using the forums function, but my iPhone won't copy the BB Code to do it correctly. I'll take a better picture and post soon, though.

Here's a quick look in the meantime.



The snub nosed Colt revolver based on the Police Positive, versus the Police Positive Special was the "Banker's Special", chambered in .38 Colt New Police. It had a shorter frame, and a shorter cylinder opening because of the shorter cartridge (same as .38 S&W). Here is my 1930ish Banker's Special issued to the Boston Police Department. Note the different length of frame as compared to the Police Positive Special above:
