Picked up this fine M681 with a AAC serial number and turns out to be one of 500 ordered on June 18, 1981 for the New York State Police. It is in great shape for being a service revolver. It was at a local gun show and cost me $490 which I thought was a great deal. I notice in the New SCSW that the price shown is $440 much less than a M581. It came with Pach's and I had this spare book matched Goncolo Alves target grip which look fantastic on there.
If you are familiar with these NYSP revolvers, how rare are they to find? Are they worth more than a non marked gun?
