Collectibility is in the eyes of the beholder . . . and areas of collecting interest vary widely.

No way to answer that. John Jovino was a major S&W Distributor and likely ordered and sold many model 60s over the years . . . both pinned and non-pinned.
It is entirely possible Jovino was one of the select Dealers to be allocated one or more of the 172 3" model 60-1s produced in 1978 . . . but they were not a special run produced exclusively for sale by Jovino. The S&W factory was simply turning a batch of parts into salable firearms . . . and possibly doing a little market research in the process.
