This is the set-up for my 50s detective shoot. Coffee table on boxes for a desk. Colored water in a cheap wine bottle and lowball glass for whiskey. Main light in front of desk shooting through "cookie", second light (behind gobo on right) shooting up through the lamp shade. Gold reflector on left did nothing. I never can aim those correctly when I'm the shooter and the subject.
The Colt Detective Special was the most famous member of the Colt line of D-frame revolvers. It was manufactured from 1927 to 1986 and again from 1993 to 1995. The first Detective Specials were essentially cut-down Police Positive Specials, and among the first purpose-built concealable revolvers in what was then a major caliber, .38 Special (though DSs were made in several other calibers, including .38 S&W & .32 S&W).
The First Generation lasted until about 1946, when it was replaced with the Second. Improvements included a thicker frame and improved ejector rod. Production carried on until 1966, when the "Generation 2½" was introduced. The major modification was a fairly radical shortening of the grip frame, to bring it in line with its aluminum-frame siblings, the Agent and the Cobra. The factory stocks kept the grip the same length, but allowed the user greater flexibility with respect to aftermarket grips to increase concealability.
The Third Generation was introduced in 1972. The biggest change was that, for the first time, the ejector rod was enclosed by a shroud.
For all of the first three series, three-inch barrels were offered, though these are vanishingly rare.
Production stopped in 1986 in the face of stagnant sales and Colt's labor dispute with the UAW, which resulted in a four-year strike, one of the longest in American history, leading to Colt's bankruptcy and reorganization in 1992, when production resumed with what some termed the Fourth Generation. The major change was that the DS was offered in stainless steel for the first time, while the nickel finish was discontinued. Production continued until 1995, when the SF-VI was introduced as its replacement. While the SF-VI (short for Small-Frame, six-shot), later renamed the Detective Special II, was externally similar to the original Detective Special, the internal lockwork was different, as was the barrel profile.
Along with all other Colt double-action revolvers, the last descendant of the Detective Special was discontinued in 1999.

Gleetings !
One day, my Detectives come to me, they are sad. "Oh, woe ! We is bored !" You see, they have been playing Pop Stars; Sherlock 1 is Gary Numan and Sherlock 2 is Sheena Easton.
"Hmmm... " I say . "How bored is that ?"
"Oh, ever so, that much !"
Yes, a crisis. Well, as King, I must resolve it. Thinks, thinks.
"I have it !" I suggest. . "You, Sherlock 1, could be Sheena Easton and you, Sher..."
"Sorry to interrupt ! Sorry !" cries Sherlock 1 "but as crack Detectives we are able to deduce things at the drop of a deer-stalker and we knows the ending, you see..."
"Yes, it's boring..."
Cor. Well, now you know why I am King and they are Detectives.
"Go forth !" I say "and find impossible things ! Eliminate them ! Whatever remains must surely be the truth, whatever it may be !"
"Golly !" they say "That sounds dead mysterious ! I've never been so excited in my life !"
"Nor me !"
Phew. It is time for elevenses. That's because it is eleven, where I am.
Walk Tall !

Sherlock Holmes is a fictional detective created by Scottish author and physician Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, a graduate of the University of Edinburgh Medical School. A London-based "consulting detective" whose abilities border on the fantastic, Holmes is known for his astute logical reasoning, his ability to adopt almost any disguise and his use of forensic science to solve difficult cases.
Holmes, who first appeared in print in 1887, was featured in four novels and 56 short stories.
Conan Doyle wrote the first set of stories over the course of a decade. Wishing to devote more time to his historical novels, he killed off Holmes in "The Final Problem" (which appeared in print in 1893, and is set in 1891). After resisting public pressure , including pleas from Queen Victoria , for eight years, the author wrote The Hound of the Baskervilles (which appeared in 1901, with an implicit setting before Holmes' death; some theorise that it occurs after "The Return", with Watson planting clues to an earlier date). In 1903 Conan Doyle wrote "The Adventure of the Empty House", set in 1894; Holmes reappears, explaining to a stunned Watson that he had faked his death in "The Final Problem" to fool his enemies. "The Adventure of the Empty House" marks the beginning of the second set of stories, which Conan Doyle wrote until 1927.
Unfortunately anybody wishing to read more adventures of their favourite fictional detective , myself included , has had to resort to searching out alternative authors to get their fix .
Dutch original detective of Mr. A.J.C. Vlaskamp published by Uitgeverij Helmond in the Speciaalserie in 1940 as number 87.
