****SEE ADDED INFORMATION AND PHOTOS BELOW****

Had to run down to Phoenix today to pick up the family from the airport. Decided to catch the last day of a 2-day gun show beforehand. Almost left the house without any cash......glad I didn't!!!

Found this on the last isle I checked out before leaving the show......

I need to do some research on these AWARD guns and get up to speed. Not sure how many were handed out, but I know this fellow ended up shooting a bad guy dead while in pursuit.

The revolver has been carried and the right grip panel is worn from carrying. There is some light freckling on the metal, but all parts match. The recoil plate shows almost no sign of use. Stocks number to gun.

Curious if these AWARD guns were ordered up special and would letter as such? Anyone lettered one??
