THIS, and besides the unique collectability of this pistol...

IIRC I found some small fragments of bloody hair on the Hvy Bbl......

All of the DOC .38s had Hvy Bbls....

Somebody pls buy this one...

Way too tempting

 

[jjfitch]

The predominant wear on these DOC revolvers come from holstering and unloading/loading several times every day between shifts. Few ever get fired!

Nice piece,

These are great to practice with. I have a model 64 DAO and a model 15.

Square

If I didn't just put out $2,300 in gun money I'd be all over this.

Can that medallion be removed?

 

[Newberg]

Sure, if you want to. People have removed them pretty easily.

It's part of the history and background of this pistol and this era. NY prions of the 1970's were a pretty bad place to be. (Attica)

A wee bit moar info....

"The Attica Prison uprising, also known as the Attica Prison rebellion or Attica Prison riot, occurred at the Attica Correctional Facility in Attica, New York, United States, in 1971. Based upon prisoners' demands for better living conditions and political rights, the uprising was one of the most well-known and significant uprisings of the Prisoners' Rights Movement. On September 9, 1971, two weeks after the killing of George Jackson at San Quentin State Prison, 1,281 of the Attica prison's approximately 2,200 inmates rioted and took control of the prison, taking 42 staff hostage."
