Cool finds cleaning out my closet

[2ndovc]

While going through some stuff in my closet this week I found my uncle's Buck knife and a Colt revolver
that I thought I'd sold years ago.

My lovely wife most likely stuffed my old "show Bag" and Uncle B's buck knife in the "pretty storage box" on my shelf.

I bought a Police Positive just a couple weeks ago. Mine has been used but still very usable. Cool Find.

Jack,
Put your readers on!
It's a Police Positive in .38 S&W.


Should have included that little bit of info I guess.

Jason,
It just looks big, especially the trigger guard.

It's still a nice one though. Those hard rubber grips are hard to find in decent shape. The factory stopped using those grips in the early twenties and if the serial no. is under 270K , they are original to the gun.-----6

That's cool. I guess it is a sign not to sell that stuff.

No need to clarify, Anybody can tell it's a POLICE POSITIVE.

Lost a monocular I used when my kid was in NCAA rowing. Assumed it had been stolen at a regatta after searching everywhere for it.

5 years later, cleaning out garage, I found a musette bag I had kept in an former car. Looked at it & said, "that's where I put that Audubon monocular". Sure as the dickens, there it was. Had gottten lost in the shuffle of buying, selling & emptying out cars.

Cool - congratulations!

Why can't I find things like this in my closet?!?

Cool - congratulations!

Why can't I find things like this in my closet?!?

That's because there's no room left. The stacks of hundred dollar bills takes up all of the space.

Ha - that's good!

More like all of my wife's shoes and clothes take up all the space!

[mod71alaska]

Good find...and a whole lot cheaper than going to your LGS!!!

[Streetstar]

Here's a cool thought ---- pick up or reload 50-100 rounds of .38 and give that little gun a workout ! -- IT has been laying dormant too long --- Nice piece

Cool - congratulations!

because the "better half" usually throws it away or gives it to a neighbor...not bitter, just saying... :O

[jhrosier]

My luck usually runs the other way.
I have a big box of new GI 1911 magazines that I've been looking for, goin' on five years now.

Nice surprise - You're lucky she threw them in a closet.

My late brother-in-law (many years ago) went looking for a .22 rifle his wife (my Sister ) had "put away".

It turned out that she had put it under the front porch & forgot about it - for 4 years !

Yep - it was a rusty bucket, when he finally retrieved it...

I found 6 bricks of .22lr in the closet a couple of days ago that I had forgotten I had. Range time today with one of them.

Man!
What a beauteous Police Positive! I had to take mine out of the safe and look it over. Mine is a 1920's era .32 Long with a set of stag, flat bottomed grips and a very unusual barrel: 2 and 3/8ths inches long, marked with the Colt Police Positive markings, and with "B .32" caliber stamp right next to it. Upon checking, I found that the "B" marking is a Colt replacement barrel installed on a revolver that was originally shipped from Colt to Old Mexico and returned from there for service. Only South of the Border revolvers got the B barrels! And it shoots excellently. I use mild mannered cast bullet reloads and it is spot on the target at 7 yards. Thanks for the reminder

Yeah, during all the panic I was afraid to go shoot my .22s since ammo was ridiculous....looked in the safe...closet...pantry...pickup and other various stashes and found 12 full bricks (or equivalent boxes) and several partials I'm still too stingy to shoot

[Griff]

Too right... COOL find! Only stuff I find doesn't fit anymore!

That happens here too!

All the clean up/ out was for a yard sale a long time coming. Made out like bandits!
And had another good find. I was given a shoulder holster by a friend a few years ago but
didn't have anything at the time that would fit in it so I tossed it on one of
the tables this morning. As the day went on I kept looking at the thing and eventually
a light went off in my thick head. The Colt New Frontier I got from Vance this summer fits perfectly!
Still wearing it! Feels a little "Dirty Harry"!

A whole lot of years ago I had a beautiful little 4 inch Police Positive 32-20, a great shooter. Then I saw something I thought I needed to trade for, oh well. You have a nice looking pistol.
