detective
A detective is an investigator, usually a member of a law enforcement agency. Some are private persons, and may be known as private investigators or "private eyes".
Informally, and primarily in fiction, a detective is any licensed or unlicensed person who solves crimes, including historical crimes, by examining and evaluating clues and personal records in order to uncover the identity and/or whereabouts of the criminal.
In some police departments, a detective position is achieved by passing a written test after a person completes the requirements for being a police officer. In many other police systems, detectives are college graduates who join directly from civilian life without first serving as uniformed officers. Some people argue that detectives do a completely different job and therefore require completely different training, qualifications, qualities and abilities than uniformed officers. The opposing argument is that without previous service as a uniformed patrol officer, a detective cannot have a great enough command of standard police procedures and problems and will find it difficult to work with uniformed colleagues.

I posted this recent find on another thread, but after a nice day at the range with this gun, I thought I would start a separate thread.
As an old time detective about when this gun was new (1973), I think I would still feel mighty comfortable with it along with some modern ammo like this...
Any idea on a realistic value for this? I have been wanting to add one to the collection and I have an opportunity to snag one. This thing is unfired and in perfect condition. All original and unfortunately no box.
Thank you
Tell me again how only Officer's can safely handle firearms.
I say that condescendingly, However, I'm a huge supporter of LEOs and this is extremely tragic. What a horrible situation and now two lives are ruined, one ended.
