My 4516-1 appears near new with the exception that the words Smith and Wesson on the slide, are worn and the Wesson is near half missing, (holster wear?). It also has a number 26 stamped on the butt behind the clip. Is this how Departments kept track of their issued weapons?
In other respects gun has NO wear marks anywhere and looks as if never fired much at all. It came with the original box and Sw papers. The gun dealer could not provide much info on its background however. Just thought someone might have opinion/ thoughts on its background.
