On November 19, 1913 this Colt Police Positive Special chambered in .32 Police was shipped along with 49 other guns to Frothingham and Workman, in Montreal, PQ, CA. These guns were the first guns shipped to the Canadian Pacific Railway so they could begin to standardize their guns on their trains, ships, hotels, etc. Mine is marked C. P. R. No. 6 on the butt. I received the Colt letter with the gun. I sent an e-mail to the Security Division of CPR and got a nice e-mail back from their Security Division Director who gave me the info about uses of the gun. He also said the .32 NP guns were phased out prior to WWII; whoever had it all these years too good care of it!
