I had a lettered .38 DA that was etched. The letter said it was shipped in 1889 as a nickel revolver to an Edward K. Tyron Co., Philadelphia, PA. I have no background on this company but I suspect that they had something to do with the etching of that revolver. I have my doubts about S&W offering etched revolvers from the factory but as we all know; anything is possible with S&W.
