I just received my letter from S&W regarding info for my Dayton model 14-2.

According to them there were only (2) shipments, each consisting of 100 units, shipped to Dayton Gun Headquarters. DGH sent the first request for the first shipment Aug 8,1965. The first 100 were delivered 12-14-1966. DGH ordered the second 100 in 1967. The letter states that there were other distributors in the late 60's and early 70's but not stated that they were 14-2's. Are these 200 revolvers the only ones which should be considered as genuine Dayton?

I have read that there were a total of 2038 produced overall, only 200 were actually sold through Dayton Gun Headquarters.
