Traded in the M10 for a 64 when I made sergeant. The departmental armorer (a sergeant of all things) did that if you asked nicely with an outstanding trigger job to boot. The gold badge is the bicentennial one we were allowed to purchase.

That gold badge is outstanding! I commend your Police Department for providing that, and instilling pride in your chosen profession. It's a work of art. Regards, Gerry.

NPD 1718 ?
The grip frame on this 1947 Detective Special is stamped NPD 1718. I assume it was property of some Police Dept. but I have no idea what "NPD" stands for. Newark? Norfolk? Nashville? Newport? etc., etc.

My Dad's Model 10
My father bought this Model 10 in New York City after he joined the FBI in 1964...when he gave it to me he gave me the receipt where he bought it as well....he retired from the Bureau in 1984...
The chip at the bottom of the grip, the scratches on the cylinder and barrel were the result of a struggle for this pistol with a bank robber in Chattanooga TN...when Dad was in the RA in Dalton Ga...I have a lot of pistols and revolvers, this one means a lot to me.
Oh yeah, St Regis, take a look at my screen name and badge...I suspect we know each other...

I wish Sanow would have used color photos in his Encyclopedia of American Police Cars because as evidenced by your photo, even white looks stunning!
Great looking revolvers as well everyone,
Scott
