"... first letter is indeed an N...I called the dealer but he says he cannot correct his mistake since he doesn't have access to a database from 2013."

I don't understand what the dealer's problem is. Why does he need a database from 2013 (or any other year)? The serial number is there on the frame of the revolver.

I would make sure the paperwork is correct before I took possession or I would nix the deal. There are other M28s out there. There are other dealers too.
