ANYWAY, I'm trying to figure out if it's a possible Brinks piece. I didn't see any NY-1 marking anywhere... so I suppose THAT'S out. It may be a standard 64-4 with a bobbed hammer. That would be fine with me also.

The hammer and trigger are not blued, and the stainless steel finish is a very dull matte style (not shiny at all).

The serial number is BDD26XX, and Roy Jinks says it was shipped in April, 1990. I have no way of knowing if was a unit returned to S&W, refinished, then resold... without an actual S&W letter though.

If anyone can give me some insight on my next to-be-adopted S&W, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Roger aka Mr. Wonderful
That sounds a lot like mine. I wonder if they're both from the same batch/contract?
The hammer and trigger on the older stainless guns are supposed to be chromed. S&W switched to a blackened finish when they stopped using forged hammers and triggers and switched to MIM,
