Right off the top of my head, I would say around the mid 70's.

BTW, we like pics of classic S&W revolvers too.

You want to "age" it? Tie a string through the trigger guard and drag it for a couple blocks behind your pickup. That will put some age on it in a hurry!

Now - back to sanity:

Your Model 28-2 Highway Patrolman is a fine revolver. Whether it has the 4" or 6" barrel, you will find it to be a wonderful gun to shoot. Enjoy!

I like it when some one asks, "Help me date a (model whatever)".

Flowers and a nice dinner is a good start.
