In 1976 I joined the Dallas Police Department and was issued a model 64-1 (SN# D797536). When I left the department I was not allowed to purchase that gun. I recently bought a Model 64-1 (D797827) and discovered that the serial number was relatively close to my DPD issued revolver. I'm curious if my recent purchase might have also been a gun used at DPD. Perhaps Smith and Wesson shipped a large quantity to Dallas.

Anyone have thoughts on this or ideas on how I might find out where my revolver was initially shipped?
