Don't know if the $650 price is fair, but it does look good in the pics.

A nickel version of this was what Charles Bronson used in the movie "Death Wish". From that point on, they were known around the gun shows as a "Bronson Muggerzapper". They've always been kinda scarce, especially in any kind of pristine condition.

The 'Movie Buff' in me begs to differ (LOL)

The Gun in the movie, Death Wish (1974), was a Colt Police Positive.

In the film, it was referred to only as a '.32'.

HTH :-)

Upon sweeping away a great wad of cobwebs, the memory corrects me. We presumed it's 32-20-ness because it went bang real loud, and all the muggers fell right down. Movies never lie, ya know...

And Walther PPK's in 7.65 mil have "...a delivery like a brick through a plate glass window." :-D
