Need Help with Identity of model Number and Frame size
I have inherited a S&W revolver from my Father. I started my experiences in handgun shooting with this revolver about 45 years ago. I would like some help identifying the model number and frame designation and year of manufacture (approx. 1954 or earlier ?). Any other associated information would also be appreciated. The numerical and type information is as follows. Made in U.S.A., Marcas Registradas, Smith & Wesson, Springfield, Mass. / S 111554 / S 26 805 7 / .357 CTG Highway Patrolman. The grips were originally Diamond Magna stocks but were damaged and replaced with used no-Diamond grips . I would like a set of original Diamond stocks if available. The finish is original with very slight wear and only a few small spots of light rust. Can you help me? I attempted to attach photos but could not get a response from 'Attach Files' option. Thanks!

Welcome to the Forum - you have a first year, Highway Patrolman from 1954. There was no model number at the time.
It is a "N" frame and was produced for Law Enforcement.

Likely shipped August/September 1954. This would become the Model 28 in 1957. A plain Jane service grade N frame. Correct stocks are around for about $75-$100 or so. Original wood is getting pricey.

Do you still have the original stocks? They might be salvageable.
