Seems like I ought to weigh in here. No. S 114655. Have not lettered it but I believe it is a first year, 1954 gun.View attachment 773105

Why not letter that?

Here's a pic of the H stamp on my 28-2 4"...N4xxx. None of my other 28's have it. Anyone else have one?

Mine is SN: N58XX, and it has the same "H" on the rear of the cylinder. It's the only 28 I have, though I do have a 4" 27-3.

Maybe the factory did a big batch of cylinders, and designated some for 28s and others for 27s?

SN N182XX - Also has the H on the rear of cylinder.

It is my favorite gun, by a mile

 

[Golphin]

I have one with serial number S212XXX and it has the H.

 

[Jocko-44]

I have one with serial number S212XXX and it has the H.

What does the H mean?

 

[Chuck Edwards]

What does the H mean?

We're trying to figure that out. "Highway Patrolman"? As opposed to the M27.

 

[Dashriprock]

This one came in on consignment last week, serial S1330XX.

 

[Nick43]

This one is a dream to shoot but a PITA to clean.

With an amazing pair of Cokes that exhibit the same level of use. Beautiful!

Which dash number is this one?

It is a dash 2. I was hoping for a dash 1, oh well.
