S1277xx, late 1954?

Won an auction because of the poor pictures. $599 no box.
When I took it out of the package at the LGS, we all were speechless.
No turn line, no evidence of being fired. But I can assure it fires quite nicely.

I would very much like to find a police marked 4”, 1964 serial.

Default N1984XX Approx. 1973 4"

Bought this at a gun show in Ohio probably three years ago for $575.00. Caught my eye and have enjoyed it ever since.

4" Barrel, Blued (B), Square Butt (SB), Red Ramp front sight (RR), adjustable White Outline rear sight (WO), Magna Grips, .400 Semi-Target Hammer, .265 Serrated Trigger.

The only thing I could never figure out was the white lettering. I assume someone did that later, but they did a really nice job and it looks original if I didn't know better.

I inherited a 357 Highway Patrolman, 6" barrel, nickel finish. I see references to "4 screw", & "5 screw" what does this indicate?

S/N is S1958xx, any idea of date of manufacture?

TIA

Thanks, shrade. Your 4 screw NMM 6 inch is noted. It makes a
total of nine 6 inch Patrolmans along with two 4 inch models in
this thread.

I got stupid and bought 2 4" 28-2's, one in the box with the original receipt from 1967, from the one and only owner. Looks great! The other one has no box or any other stuff with it, but it looks better than the other one, except the ratchet has a little peen on one tooth.

Bottom one is from 73,. and the top one is from 1967.I sure wish either of them had cost $450-500. The cheaper one was $700! Pics will follow...

Default S&W Highway Patrolman

Hi, brand new to the forum. I came across this looking for info on my .357. I've been searching, unsuccessfully, for information regarding year, model and estimated value.

I inherited this about 12 years ago and since it has only seen the inside of a box in a closet as we moved and traveled around. I did finally take it out last August, and having only fired semi-auto, was surprised with how comfortable it was to shoot.

I do realize that it desperately needs to be cleaned and better cared for but if anyone here can give me a better idea of age and an estimate of value, I would appreciate it greatly.

s/n: s 1120xx
model: G 2727 1 ???

Welcome to the forum. You gun was made in 1954 0r 1955 probably 1954 which was the first year for the Highway Patrolman. Clean it up and shoot the Heck out of it, It is a fine gun.
If you know a gunsmith, you might have them look at it or at least watch a youtube video on what to watch for when buying a revolver.

Default 2020 Values

So what might be the gun show retail value of a 28-2 3 screw the attractive dull bluing with correct serial # box? Revolver is a 6", perfect in most every way accept what looks like a slight impact & finish scratch about the size of a little finger nail on the side plate. Seller would not accept my 629-3 six inch and 100$. Could someone repair the side plate defect and match the bluing correctly? Firm price was $750.

OK, I searched but can't find the answer. Was it ever determined what finish "BH" means on Mod. 28 box end labels? Thanks

“BH” is for the Satin Blue finish the 28’s get.
27’s and 29’s usually got the “BT” Bright Blue finish.
At least that’s how I understand it.

To add to what RGNewell posted, G2727 1 ??? isn't a model number. It is an assembly number marked on several matching hand-fitted parts at the factory to make sure they get all the right parts back together to be assembled into a gun.

Yours has no model number because it was manufactured before 1958 when model numbers were first assigned.

Yours has just a model name - it is a Highway Patrolman

Default New to me NYSP 28-2

Just got this 28-2 from member “moosedog” yesterday N545291. Only number on the inside of the grips is Sharpie “681”. Probably someone’s badge number so his gun would come back from an armorer with his nice grips. Just a guess. Great gun. It has the red ramp/white outline sights. It also has a wide target trigger, not the smooth “ranger” trigger. I’m having it lettered. That should tell if that trigger came with the gun or if someone substituted a serrated trigger for the smooth one. In any event, this old girl and I will spend some range time together soon. Thanks again Leonard.

Well, I brought home my first Highway Patrolman, Model 28. SN 200930, which makes it late ‘59 or early ‘60. A little holster wear at the muzzle and a bit of a turn line, which doesn’t bother me because I plan to use it as God intended! It came with the matching magnas, but while they actually felt pretty good in my hand (most magnas don’t- I’m a Tyler T guy), the 28 felt a little muzzle heavy. For the range I have a set of Nill “cokes”. I paid $700, which I figure isn’t great but isn’t bad either. The single action is fantastic and double action is heavy but VERY smooth. Anyway, I’ve read every page of this thread and am proud to be a member of the Highway Patrol club!

Default Adding my 28-2 to the list

Bought this 28-2 with target hammer and trigger on Gunbroker for around $450 several years ago. Don't recall what grips it had on it, but I installed my Herrett Jordon Troopers. Back in the mid 1980s, a detective I worked with at the Sheriffs Department had a 4 inch model 66 with Jordon Troopers and they felt so good in my hand I just had to order a set. Sent in my hand print and a few weeks later they arrived. Steve Herrett was still running the company back then. Put those grips on my 4 inch model 29 and found out no matter how good they felt in my hand, they beat the bone at the base of my thumb without mercy. These grips now reside on 357 caliber guns only.

Haven't shot this yet, but I will. It is a 28-2 with an early N serial number. looks to be unfired outside of the factory.

Talk about impulse buys--- a buddy and I stopped by an area pawn shop today, it has a great reputation for finding great guns. he was looking for a 10mm pistol, I was just there to window shop and maybe look for a Walther P-38. There were two P-38's there, one had no armory markings, the other was a Walther but had a super-short barrel. Anyway, next to the case with the Walther was another case full of wheel guns, and two immediately caught my attention. The first one was a Model 66-2 with a 6" barrel. It must have been a late -2 model, it had neither a pinned barrel or recessed cylinder, but otherwise was a beautiful pistol. I wanted a pinned/recessed example of any S&W I might find. So, I looked at the second gun; it was a Model 28-2 and the only marks on it are the line on the cylinder from the locking lug rubbing it. It is also a 6" barrel, and has the target trigger and target hammer, but had the smaller grips, which look kind of funny on such a large revolver.

I have a really nice M19-3 with a 4" barrel, so either revolver would make a great companion for it. I used to have a M66-1, sold it years ago, so I was tempted to replace it with this 66-2, but then I thought, why not get a larger frame model to use my full-magnum handloads for. Time to dicker. The store owner did come down some on price, not as much as I wanted, but I took the M28-2 anyway. No box. I won't say what I gave just yet, but I'd like to hear what you guys think. I'd also like to know as close as possible to when this gun was made. The SN is N1892--.
Pictures aren't the clearest, I'll get better ones.

Late edit: I was reading the first post on the thread, and if correct, the listed serial number ranges put the MFG date of my new toy in the year 1973. That makes it older than my 19-3 by three years or so. Sure would like to know its history, if a Statie actually carried it, how many bad guys bit the dust in front of it, etc., etc.

When did S&W stop stamping serial number on inside grip panel of Highway Patrolman Model 28-2 ?

Thanks

I have had a lot of excitement in the last 7 decades, but this as excited as I have ever been about a gun.

You are in the holding pattern for 8 weeks, but I’m guessing you’ll be happy. Great gun. Go back a few replies. You’ll see mine which I lettered to the NYSP.

I stopped by my local gun shop to see if there was anything new, I found this Model 28 in the case, it has some blue wear on the muzzle and a few dings on the rib but other than that it's in pretty good shape. The serial number (S214XXX) puts it somewhere in 1961, it has 4 screws, 3 in the side plate, 1 in front of the trigger guard. I have a few questions. My other N-frame is a Model 28-2, serial number N47XX made around 1969, it has the lazy ampersand stamped on the barrel and address lines, the Model 28 has a standard ampersands on the barrel and address lines, I thought all the older Smiths would have the lazy ampersand. When I got the M28 it was filthy so I did a complete strip, clean and lube. Now all I need is to get to the range and try it out.

That is odd that the early M28 you found has the standard ampersands. My M28-2 is slightly earlier than yours, it has a N18xxxx SN: it has the lazy ampersand on the barrel, but has the standard ampersand on the address stamp. My M19-3 has standard ampersands in both places, but it is several years newer than my M28-2. Now, My M57 no dash has the lazy ampersand in both locations, it is an S31xxxx gun and the oldest of the three S&W's I own. I was (am) of your opinion that the older guns would have the lazy ampersands.

From what I have read on this forum I don't think there is any rhyme or reason to what Smith & Wesson does.

I just received the letter on the Highway Patrolman from Roy Jinks.
"Shipped May 10, 1954 and delivered to Major General Julian S. Hatcher, National Rifle Association, Washington, DC. The records indicate that this revolver was shipped with a 4" barrel, brushed blue finish and select checkered target grips"
For those that don't know it, Major General Hatcher was the technical writer for the "American Rifleman."

That’s a great score Bobby. Congrats

i have one that shipped 30 days later though not to the General. His "Book of the Garrand" is a great reference. Then there's the Hatcher Hole. Too much else to mention.

Hi Rusty,

Please take a look at my post one page back on this thread. http://smith-wessonforum.com/140654240-post2328.html

The Model 28-0 Four Screw I posted is S214002 and shipped in February 1962. It has the Lazy Ampersand on the barrel, and standard ampersand on the address line.

A lifetime of honest use on a gun is a beautiful thing. It means that the gun's owner loved the gun enough to shoot it often.

Default Picked this gem up this weekend

New member to the Highway Patrolman club. Normally I'm a Ruger guy but have an affinity for the N frame Smiths.
Has a little wear on the cylinder and on the right side frame, plus typical barrel wear, but othe than that she's clean. While I am ok with the grips I have some correct target stocks on order. Near as I can tell the gun may be circa 78. Not real sure.
Just a cool gun, that I bet could tell some stories.
For those curious about price, I traded a Mossberg Shockwave that I had paid $250 for

VERY nice!
The Jay Scott grips are OK, but a nice set of targets will be just the thing.
You did fantastic on that deal - $250 is about a third of what it is worth, even without original stocks.

I wasn't sure what grips these were. Not my style for sure. Shooting it was a pure joy. The trigger is incredible and every shot landed on a 2" plate at 15 yards. This gun has opened my eyes to the passion people have for the old Smiths.
