Well, here's an odd new addition to the herd.
According to Dr. Jinks' letter, S&W shipped Model 36 41J6XX to
Clearfield Hardware Co., Clearfield, PA, on May 14, 1971.
He goes on to say, "... it is in the middle of a group of 60
revolvers specially manufactured for the New South Wales Police
Department of Australia. It is my opinion that this revolver was
accidently [sic] shipped to a domestic distributor by mistake."
Target trigger, Model 49 hammer, and New South Wales Police
Department logo on the side plate.
It's as new in the box.
The best logo shot I could find online says, "Police Force" (not
Department). Otherwise the logo is the same as stamped on
the Model 36.
The latin proverb in the ribbon at the bottom of the logo means,
"Punishment follows closely behind crime's heels; crime doesn't pay," according to WordSense Dictionary online.
We're having a blizzard now so I shot these poor photos inside.
