Hello everyone!
I inherited my great grandfather's Chicago police gun (colt 38 (I think), blue steel, officers model, 5 inch barrel with bullets), original holster, badge, a leather baton, and some type of brass knuckles not brass. I have articles from the Chicago Tribune showing him capturing a gangster (photo) and awards for this capture, with other articles about him from the 1920's I think? I don't know how to tell when it was made, I do have a serial number though. It is soooo cool! I also have a badge of his from the World Fair held in Chicago.
How would I go about figuring out how much it is worth? I want to make sure it is insured.
Thank you, Kenzie
