Never pay big $$$ for a beat down 64-5 because there were around 1000 of them and they pop up nib all the time for around $500. DPD never issued the 64-5's because they changed over to the glock before they ran out of model 10's.

How did this 64-5 come about being marked for the Detroit Police?
Was it an "over run" that was never issued?
There's no way it's a "fake", not worth the effort to fake a mark that adds nothing of value to most people.

They are not fake markings they were just never issued to officers. DPD had them in the inventory but they changed over to the glock before any of the 64-5's were issued they did issue alot of 64-2's mostly to retiring officers. All the 64-5's were sold nib to century arms when DPD changed over to the glock in 1992.

So it must be that someone bought this on the cheap from Century, used it as a carry piece and now is trying to double their money on it......

century arms is a distributor they sold them to gun dealers across America. But yeah I herd those guns went cheap back then I herd they could be bought for only a few hundred dollars even the nib guns. But a gun is only worth what somebody is willing to pay for it

I recently purchase a 64-4 2inch RB, Detroit Police Mark with the Original Box. Under Features, the box is marked "SPECIAL" Product code is 102501, Spec. Ord # 1728. The seller claimed that it had never been issued, as you mention for the 64-5"s. Do you think this 64-4 could just be one that was in inventory or ? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

The only model 64's that were never issued were the 64-5's. There were alot of officers that traded their 5" service guns for snubnose or shorter barreled guns when they retired.
I know up until a few years ago DPD still have model 64-2's they would give at retirement. I also know they still have some used model 10's in inventory.
A lot of the officers that took New guns when they retired never took them out of the box. They owned other OD guns they liked to carry already.
The model 12-2 I posted belonged to the president of the Sgt & Lt's association and he never fired it but 6 bullets when he got it then put it in a drawer for 15yrs until i bought it.

64-2 2 inch
With any luck I will pick up a 64-2 2 inch DPD marked gun tomorrow. There is no box but from the photos it looks 98/99%. I was reading the for sale guns on this forum and it was mentioned that he had a 64 2 inch. I was surprised to find out it was still for sale and marked DPD.

My guess would be silver (nickel) for Officers, Brass for Supervisors on up.

Robbt,
I have a retired Detroit PD Officer on my staff. She is married to a retired DPD officer as well. She tells me her husband has his old gunbelt. I asked her if she would either bring it in so I could take pics, or let her take pics and I will get them to you.
That should help you a bit.
Hope things are good for you....

Re: Brass or Nickle, in '68 the belts being issued had nickle hardware for the officers. Sometime prior to this hardware was brass.
