Just retired after 25 years law enforcement and my guys were paying attention cause I have always wanted a S&W Mod 58. It has always encompassed my idea of the perfect combat/outdoors handgun. They presented this to me last Saturday.

Couple questions,
I have a different number on the crane then the bottom of the grip frame, number on inside the grip frame under the stocks is same as the one on the crane. Which is the serial number?

number on the butt is #S 257791
number inside the crane is #23597

I was told the gun came from the widow of a Montana LEO, the gun came with Pachs and my boys switched them out for some Altamont Magnas and added the T-Grip. Not a scratch and only minor turn ring and bluing rub on the muzzle.
