Hello
I just checked mine. It has the old style silver ones on it.
I am pretty sure these are the originals as this came from the original owners nephew.
Hope this helps.
I don't know which is correct, but I can solve your problem for you. Just send me the Colt, I'll send you a pint of Mr. Dickel's finest, and you won't have anything to worry about.
Since I've been trying to find a correct set of grips for this thing high and low for several months now.
Guess I'm not as good a scrounger as I used to be.
I'm going to buy an ugly, yet early Official Police with good grips, harvest the grips off of it, and slap a set of Herretts on it and it'll become another shooter.
Page 5-took me a few days to find the post! My Colt Officer's Model 2nd Issue is from 1917. S#417412. http://www.proofhouse.com/colt...special_officers.htm
The medallions are deep set and look like they were originally gold and are turning silver with wear. I see the Blue Book says these type of grips were standard from 1913-1923. I'll have to work on resizing photos with my next post!
Thank you bdgreen for your excellent tutorial on posting pictures!

Thank You! It is a nice shooter. It shoots the 148g wadcutters very well. The single action on it is great. Double action leaves a little to be desired though!
