San Antonio,Tx PD bought Colt SAA's in 45Colt in the 1920's.
One lot I recall seeing a factory letter on was for 50 revolvers in the shipment in Oct/1927.
IIRC the individual revolver that was lettered was a 4 3/4"bbl.
They guns were stamped on the butt w/ S.A.P.D. #--
I believe they used them till the 40's when they replaced them with New Service Colts.
