My apologies if, well, not applicable to your choices -- but I have a Colt Positive Police .38 -- but it is NOT the .38 S&W Special. Instead, it is chambered for the .38 S&W -- the thirty-eight Smith & Wesson! Bearing a 670xxx serial number, it was made in 1955. Again, my apologies if not applicable -- but I reckoned a post may be in order should, while doubtful, you may not have ascertained the Colt revolver is in fact chambered for the Smith & Wesson .38 Special.
