I met my girlfriend's father for the first time this summer in Sacramento. He showed me his old duty revolvers. One was a heavy used Pre model 14 6" and one of those model 68's in presentation case. He started with CHP in 1950.and the pre 14 was what they carried then. The 68 was given to him when he retired along with another pre 14 that was used by his partner in their duties chasing overweight truckers trying to beat the law on the back roads of northern Cal. Both the pre 14's looked like they had been dragged behind their patrol cars then polished. Both worked and the bores were very clean. First model 68 I had ever seen.
