Hi I had a S&W model 28-2 S300958 that was made between 1961 an 1969 I got it in 1973 used when I was in Law Enforcement Sold it in 1976 when I went on got a job on the railroad that year.I had worked at the county jail $7000 a year.The RR was 3 times the pay.I sold it to a life friend who was a deputy.We are both now retired,sold it for $85.00 at that time.He was good enough to keep it,and gave it to me.This revolver is worth priceless to me.
