My Combat Masterpiece collection ended at 1990 but after a little horse trading with a buddy last night nudged the collection up to 1993 with this 67-3 pictured below right with Model 67-1 (left) for comparison.

1988 67-2 which changes New Yoke retention system,radius stud package, floating hand / hammer nose bushing.

Happy 90th BD to Harley Davidson and Beenie Babies are born...Otherwise unfortunately lots of doom n gloom such as the Bill Clinton Presidency,

Federal Agents raid religious cult Waco Tx killing 76 including 27 children, Brady bill is signed into law, Severe Blizzards in Eastern US , Islamic fundamentalists explode bomb in WTC, bombings in Bombay india kill 300 then an Earthquake in India kills nearly 10,000, Haitian Ferry sinks killing 1000, Fighting between Muslims and Croats in Bosnia Herzegovina kills untold, 7.8 earthquake off Hokkaido, Japan launches a tsunami killing 202 on Okushiri, Earthquake centered on Killari, Maharashtra India kills nearly 10,000 , Oil tanker MV Braer carrying 85,000 tonnes of crude oil runs aground crude oil spills into the North Sea causing an ecological disaster, Earthquake hits Flores Indonesia - 2200 dead , IRA explodes massive bomb in Bishopsgate London , anti-abortion activist murders doctor, Russian Nuclear Accident at Tomask 7, tennis player Monica Seles stabbed by an obsessed fan of Steffi Graf , Worst Brush Fires in Australian History destroy the world's second largest national park, Two former police officers are convicted of violating the civil rights of beaten motorist Rodney King and (NAFTA) is signed into law by US President Bill Clinton ....now....exhale

1993 Model 67-3 (HB) Change extractor (star), change rear site leaf (round) , drill and tap frame, introduce Hogue rubber grips (sorry couldnt bare to see those on a nice pre IL SB S&W )....
Interestingly there is no mention of the wide rib barrel change in the SCSW and the 67-3 is now like its blue twin the 15-5.

1996 change to round butt frame
1998 67-4 introduces MIM parts and internal firing pin,
2002 67-5 is now IL,
