Pair 'o' Revolvers.
I first visited Hong Kong in 1972 while I was onboard the USS MIDWAY. We anchored out so far in the harbor we were close to where the Queen Elizabeth, the sister ship of the Queen
(now a tourist attraction and hotel in Long Beach, CA) caught fire and sank in Hong Kong Harbor where, as the biggest Ocean Liner was being overhauled and refitted. Three separate fires broke out and between the damage and firefighting water sunk her.
I was 20 in 1972 and well Hong Kong and Kowloon were a sailor's paradise! At the time HK was a British Crown Colony; I was really impressed by how professional and squared away the Royal Hong Kong Police looked in their olive drab uniforms; over the alf socks, and the creases in their uniform shirts and shorts looked sharp enough to shave with! They wore leather Sam Browne Belts and flapped cross draw holsters with some sort of revolver - that I didn't know what make they were.
Fast forward to a couple of years ago; and I know what some of them carried; Colt Police Positive Special Revolvers chambered in .38 S&W, or as the British referred to it as .38-200. I made a gun trade with someone on Coltforums.com; I sent him two guns and I ended up with a total of 5 Colt revolvers; including two RHKP Colt's. One of the guns is Century marked; the other is not. Both have a 4 digit number on the back strap; the number 4633 is the same number as my house address in MI before we moved to Texas! He also included two RHKP Badges, and a couple of other badges as well...
