Hi August,

Nope I'm way down in Texas. I could tell from my online perusing that the two agencies existed but of course don't know how their firearms might be identified. I'll probably send off for a letter on this one to document where it was issued. I'm sort of enjoying getting a few PD documented pistols in the collection.

Thanks,
Earl

I do clearly recall seeing more than my share of HB Model 10s well into the 1990s when I lived in the city and knew a lot of police officers when I worked in a pawn shop.

BCPD might be the Baltimore COUNTY police, which if you are not from the area, is a different agency altogether. Baltimore County surrounds Baltimore (city), but is its own entity. Apologies if you are from the area and already knew this.
