My first gun was a S prefix 6" 28-2. It was originally purchased by the brother of a friend of my Dad in Taiwan in 1962. Dad bought it from him in Nov 1963, and the gun stayed at my grandparents when he got married. Grandpop scared a burglar into jumping out a second floor window with it. In the fall of '88, when I was 14,Dad and Grandpop decided I should have it because Grandpop couldn't see well enough to use it and they didn't want it stolen. I was doing my algebra homework when Dad walked in a put a shopping bag next to me on the couch. I was surprised to pull out the Highway Patrolman. I asked what he planned to do with it and he told me "it's yours". One of the best days ever.

I still have my original Highway Patrolman, plus a few more. It's still my favorite gun.
