A few close up pics of the frame and barrel would be helpful. From afar, nice looking gun.

I believe it is "New York" engraving probably done by the distributor.

New York Style
I agree,
New York Style. It has also been refinished. The hammer, triggerguard, trigger, and latch should be either blued or case hardened.
Very nice gun.

I agree with Mike & Murph. Dealer provided engraving. A factory historical letter will probably show shipping in a batch of guns to a NYC S&W distributor. Ed
