Colorado Springs Department of Public Utilities revolver
I was at the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum and they had a S&W revolver on display that was carried in 1955 by an agent of the Colorado Springs Department of Public Utilities. They had a short blurb about how the department came to be but nothing about why they needed guns.
I don't know much about S&W wheelguns but it looked like an N-frame. No info on model, caliber, or anything. I was only able to see the S&W stampings that confirmed it was a S&W (as if you couldn't tell by looking at it.)

Anyway, I just thought this was interesting. Feel free to add on whatever you can about the gun in particular or what you might know about the department. I should have taken a pic of the plaque that went with the gun so I could google the officer's name.
