That funny look was a combination of lighting and oil with cloth fibers. The barrel is 4" in length also. I took another focused shot of that area.

Update: I went back to take a close look at the 6" 28-2 at that LGS. Mechanics were good, about 90% finish with honest wear, N100XXX serial number indicates 1973 production. I offered $800 OTD. He did some checking of his paperwork, but didn't bite. IDK, the gun just didn't speak to me. Don't really need it as I have a 6" pre-27, along with several other 6" .357s. Decided to pass.
The gun is at Classic Arms in Memphis if anybody is interested.

There is a nice looking 4" on the forum for 950.

I have been known to collect a few, and they are not selling for 650 any more.

These are all S prefix except the lone 1973 N

Buy it !!
If it's a nice as it sounds, I'd be all over it immediately !
A friend of mine has a virgin / never shot 28-2 {4 "} with original box, papers, etc. and he's a little high on his asking price, but I may have to grit my teeth, and buy it . Just too nice a gun to pass up .

I sold a 4" 28-2 on this site a while back. The whole package, box, tools, paper and literature that came with it.

In my opinion it had not been fired since it left the factory, I ask $1000.00 plus shipping.

The buyer was very pleased with it, as was I.

If you haven't already bought it, run! Do Not Walk ! And buy it!


I was fortunate at a local gun show and found my 6" 28-2 1-1/2 years or so ago for the "steal" of a price at $800 with no box or accessories. Around here they go for at the very least $900 for a mediocre shooter grade.

A place not too far from me had a sad looking one for $900. A friend has the "28-2 fever" now and was tempted, but passed.

Lots of abrasions on it, weird grips, and no box, etc. $700-750 would be ok these days.
