Item Details
Following the attack on Pearl Harbor in December, 1941, the U.S. Government was scrambling to provide arms and supplies to millions of new recruits. The Defense Supplies Corporation (DSC) was established in 1941 to provide arms and ammunition to the thousands of non-military guards and police charged with protecting America’s munitions' plants, war production factories, depots, trains, railyards and dozens of other sensitive sites. The DSC contracted with Colt for 20,000 .38 Spl. revolvers. It selected the 4-inch-barrel .38 Spl. Official Police as its choice, but balked at the $28.50 price tag. Colt countered with a version of the Official Police that was Parkerized (Parco-Lubrite) and had plastic (Coltwood) grips lacking checkering on the trigger, hammer and cylinder release latch. The Colt Commando was born, yielding a $2.50 savings over the MSRP of the Official Police. The new weapon was primarily used to arm units of Military police, security guards at U.S. defense plant installations and shipyards, as well as limited clandestine issue to agencies involved in overseas espionage, military intelligence, and the British OSS. Approximately 50,000 Colt Commandos were produced during World War II. The British Purchasing Commission in New York, New York, ordered 1,100 Colt Commandos on June 24th, 1941, for use by the OSS and other overseas agencies. According to Colt Archives serial number database, this gun was made in 1941. The serial number falls within the 1100 BPC order. It sports the "Crown-W" marking on the left side of the frame (British Purchasing Commission Mark) as well as the military number "14113" on the frame under the butt. The New York British Purchasing Commission office stamped all firearms with the "Crown-W" before they were exported to England. Although the majority of British Purchased 38 Special revolvers were converted to the 38-200 British (38 S&W) caliber, this gun appears to retain the original 38 special chambering. Features include a 4" barrel, parkerized military finish, brown checkered "Coltwood" grips, SA/ DA trigger, blued checkered hammer, 6-shot swing-out cylinder and serrated cylinder release latch with manual push locking. This gun is in nice condition with very light wear, has an excellent sharp/ clean bore and appears to be in good working order... This gun is from the Outstanding Don Crawford 70+ years Collector/ Investment Grade Collection.

- In order for an auctioneer to utilize ProxiBid's new ATG Payment System, the buyer’s sales tax (for the state in which they live) is automatically deducted. There is no way to bypass this feature for an auctioneer. Many states now require sales tax for auction items, but not all. If you live in a state that has passed an Auction Sales Tax Law (which most have in the past few years), the system automatically deducts your states percentage. If you live in a state that does not require sales tax on auction items, no tax will be added. Also, if you have a State Tax Number, you can register it with ProxiBid and no sales tax will be deducted. This new software is designed to make payments easier for the buyer and take the burden of the required sale tax off the auctioneer.
