Default O.K. I bought my first "other" gun...Birth Date?

I have not taken a photo yet....light is not right, its late and I just got home with it. "It" is a Colt Police Positive Special, SN 2663XX.

From what I can tell, I think its circa 1922?? Finish is in the 93% range, matching Blk grips (SN matching) very fine freckling very bright bore, locks up good and tight, timing is dead on but with just a tad of end play. Can anyone tell me for sure, or must I go to the other site?

What's wrong with you guys -- Buying old guns???
They don't have locks and are made of steel - Jeesh!!
And Revolvers Yet They're NO GOOD for protection - Just a very quick spray and they're empty...

I Love 'em too Nice score!
