And one of the things I found with the gun was a copy of a letter from S&W, signed by David G. Simons, Vice President, Sales, dated May 9, 1980, which detailed the history of these guns. The letter is to "All Smith & Wesson Handgun Distributors" and the subject is "SMITH & WESSON MODEL 520 Revolver." Interesting tidbit, each distributor was limited to ordering no more than 100 units.
Has anyone seen this before or do I have something unusual?
For some reason I can't upload my .pdf of this letter to Photobucket, but if anyone wants a copy of it, just contact me at
[email protected]. I'll send it along via email.
