I'm probably going to go look at one on the other side of the state, a 5" model, pinned and recessed. One thing I notice is the non-diamond target grips w/ medallions are heavily varnished. I just picked up a mid-60s model 28-2 with diamond grips that are much less shiny, albeit more used. The polish and finish of the bluing looks good in the pictures, but cameras can hide things depending on lighting unless one gets a couple dozen pics from a variety of angles. Guessing it had to have been made after 68 - what was the last production date for the 5"?
