s&w model 39

This could be a five digit serial number gun that may have been reworked,altered and refinished, for what ever reason. Perhaps Sal (Model3sw) is correct, however S&W would make you up a gun in almost any legal configuration there was, if you were a VIP LEO that the sales dep't wanted to impress. Get a letter from Roy Jinks. Ed.

Based on a previous post, this mod 39 has an altered Sn. and has been refinished. So the previous owner, a law enforcement officer and the present owner , a law enforcement officer, have and are in possession of an illegal gun? Am I correct?

IMHO---THAT JUST ABOUT SUMS IT UP......
 
I can remember when ISP here in Illinois used these pistols and there is a very good reasons why they moved to another handgun.

Maybe im being optomistic about this pistol, but in nys it must be registered and placed on a nys pistol permit, if indeed it has been altered i feel bad for the family of the deceased trooper and i shall pass on the purchase. It will be unfortunate for the dealer who aquired it from the estate as well. That is the reason i came to this forum to find out the history and value,But either way i feel hopefull a letter will give an explanation,and i thank all for there input.
 
kharmakid, X-Ray the gun. That will tell you what was altered. If the test reveals the real serial number, restore it & the gun's legal Ed.

Retired NYC (not sure about NYS) Police Officers were (in the past) exempt from applying for a civilian carry permit.

NOW THAT SOUNDS LIKE A VIABLE PLAN ! ! !

I KNOW THAT THERE IS A PROCESS TO DO THAT, BUT I DID NOT REALIZE THAT IT IS MERELY A SIMPLE X-RAY. THE TECHNOLOGY IS USED TO UNCOVER THE REAL SERIAL NUMBERS ON STOLEN CARS AND MOTORCYCLES......

BTW---IF 25 IS NOT THE ACTUAL SERIAL NUMBER, A REQUEST FOR A HISTORICAL LETTER, AT THIS STAGE OF THE INVESTIGATION, WILL BE A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY....

I know nyc laws are different than the rest of nys, when i left the pd i was required to have a nys pistol permit to carry a handgun,,im not even sure where the heck you would take a firearm to get x-rayed, i guess more research is needed on my end,
