Well my luck with the S&W letters continues. I submitted this revolver for a letter obviously hoping it lettered to a police agency...Ugggh..."was shipped from our factory on April 19, 1982 and delivered to Martial Arms Inc, New Orleans LA. It appears as if this revolver could have originally manufactured for shipment to the Boston Police Department as numerous revolvers in this serial range were shipped to Boston Police. However, it was either and over run or accidently packaged for commercial sales."

WTH... Here's hoping I have better luck with a nice 10-8 I'm picking up tomorrow that is FWPD marked. At least I know it wasn't shipped to Wisconsin or something since it was purchased in Fort Worth...grrr..
