I own an old Colt revolver that was 1 of 10 shipped to Denton Hardware in 1930. This particular revolver has "D Police Dept" stamped on the butt of the grip. I have attached pictures of the revolver for the inquiring minds, but would really like to know if anyone had ever heard of the Denton Hardware Company. I am not sure if this is Denton,Texas as there are a few other cities in the US named Denton. However, none of the other cities in 1930 would have been as large as Denton, Texas. I will assume that an order for 10 Police Positive revolvers would have been for a large police department and probably used as a training tool. Any help would be appreciated.

Not sure if T & Sons sold hardware before or if Evers sold guns. ....
