Here is proof that I save everything. I bought my new closeout 6" 66-6 9/03 and immediately fitted a HiViz front sight and Ahrends square conversion fg cocobolo grips to it. Then this info sheet came from S&W - dated 10/03! It was nearly a year before I finally got one. I still have it and the 66. Oh, my cat, Casper, tried to take off with it - he ate the missing piece.
As you can see, it came with the Ahrends grips. My JM PC 627 V-Comp came with Miculek-style grips. The first owner didn't like them - and had no idea what he did with them. Some folks just don't like wood grips. I don't like rubber!
