InjunBro, who was in the 'smithing business for many years (30+?), I recall made mention of this once. I somehow doubt the RCMP would have spent much time to clean it up much. I think hemoglobin is a pretty good oxidizer. If there was a lot of blood on the gun, then the finish could well be compromised. Unfortunately (and I don't mean to be callous here - please forgive, and again, condolences on the loss of your grandfather!!) suicides are messy.44's don't help.
So here goes.Īll that is unless there is corrosion from blood on the gun.
To answer your question faithfully, I have to be blunt from here on out. So that actually adds mystique and maybe value. I'd like to believe, from the position of the notches on the upper inside grip (for a right handed shooter) it was a cop's gun. I have a Colt Police Positive from 1929 with 2 notches on the grips. To answer your question - only to the buyer all else being equal. I can have the bedside manner of Attila the Hun and the social sensitivity of Rainman. I tend to be pretty blunt so no offense intended if I am. You seem to be pretty matter-of-fact, but it's also been 6 months.
