The Montana Highway Patrol did a four inch M-66-1 commemorative back in 1979. We were carrying M-28's at the time. Total production was 213 units. IIRC the price to Troopers was around $245. I didn't start with the Patrol until 1985 but did buy one simply because I did a career with the MHP and it's a Smith.

I'm not a fan of Commemoratives UNLESS they can be bought VERY cheaply. Otherwise I've lost money on the majority of them. Talking everything from a Sako rifle, to several winchester M-94, to the later Browning Win's.
