Model 60-2 question

[ArchyBunker91]

Hello all,
I just had a quick question regarding a nice stainless S&W revolver that I picked up earlier today. It's a model 60-2 and has the letters NY-1 under the cylinder lock. I know this means it was part of a run done for the NYPD during the late 80's but I was wondering if it gives it anymore value. It also came with the original grips, pachmeyer grips, a very nice Galco shoulder rig and a box of shells..... I only paid $300.00 for everything

You over paid for that, luckily I would be more than glad to help you out and give you $299.99 of your money back. ha ha
You were very lucky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You made a great deal on that gun. There are collectors that go after these and the like (agency/ department marked guns). With that said the Model 60-2 NY-1 was ordered with some unique required NYPD features and has some unique history over the standard S&W model 60 so in my opinion they're little more sought after by some collectors. I suggest you do a forum search on the NY-1 and take the time to read it all, it's a lot of information but well worth your time to know what you've got and to authenticate it; yes there are some NY-1 stamped fakes out there. Please post pics when you can. Again great find and welcome to the forum.

She still needs a good bath... but here she is! Let me know what you all think. And yes. I will check out the other NY-1 info in the forum for sure! Thanks for all the info!

The 60-2 was a special engineering change for the NYPD; I have not seen one that was not stamped NY-1. You got it at a very good price for any nice model 60, let alone an NY-1 stamped example.

Forum members RMVivas and RichCapeCod are the local authorities on these and may chime in.
