Colt Detective Special with a "U.S." marked backstrap is a model manufactured for the United States government, most notably during the Vietnam War era around 1970. These revolvers were produced for the military, particularly the Army, with some being shipped to military depots like Letterkenny Army Depot in Pennsylvania. They are distinguished by government inspection marks, such as "U.S." on the backstrap and often a "P" proof mark on the trigger guard.
