The OP says:

"I traded for this 28-2 yesterday."

He doesn't say he traded for it with an FFL license holder. The gun has a serial number, even if it isn't a serial number that makes S&W purists happy.

There could be, and probably is, a good reason for the odd number. Seems like there was another thread a few days ago about a gun with a weird number, and everyone went off into the usual the-feds-will-get-you-better-get-rid-of-it panic mode.

I don't see any need for that here. The OP has the gun, wherever he got it. It may have been severely damaged. It's still damaged, finish-wise. The damage (possibly fire and water damage?) could be the reason for the new number.

Stop trotting out the BATFE Boogieman, trying to scare the guy into getting rid of his gun.
