Hello everyone,
Last week I came across a Model 28-2, 6" barrel with target stocks. Serial number is in the N550000 range.
The revolver is in pretty good mechanical shape so I´m thinking in a possible buy.
The thing is that the HP´s are kinda scarce in my country (Argentina), so this is the first time I came across a Model 28.
Therefore I have some doubts about the finish. I know the HP´s should have a non-polished finish but I´m not sure if this is original to the gun since I´ve never seen one of these before.
According to the pics, what do you think? Does it look like original finish to you? In that case, it should be what is known as blue satin, right?
The stocks are target type with the football cutout. They aren´t in great shape, but I guess they are original to the gun. Should they have the serial number stenciled on the inner surface? I didn´t have the oportunity to remove the stocks.
Thanks a lot in advance for your help.-
