posted on the colt smithing forum too, but I just picked up a pre war (1943) colt official police frame. i planned on buying a parts kit to put it all back together. the kit looks to be a post war kit. the pre war has a half moon front sight, the post war has a wedge cut front sight.
i read the post war they changed the cylinder lock mechanism. but it seems the change was going from a knurled to a smooth knob.
My question is would anyone know if the parts will drop in? thanks. jim
