A no dash has much less production quantity by far than m&p because of the limited production years but the 5 screw has a collector value. So, by shear availability the no dash is rarer if that’s what you mean by older. In my book I’d buy a no dash over the other (I already did😎)

There’s just something about really old blued steel especially when it’s been taken care of. Model 35, I would appreciate comments, experience, rants or raves regarding this model from the group. Thanks

I’m on the fence 😂

Do it! Just be prepared that the others might be neglected… Money comes and goes, buy what you like when you can! Enabling over

Thanks for sharing an outstanding piece. Having the family lineage is priceless, funny how inheritance has no regard.

So you have 12 27s? I just sighed huge.

I have a nickel 53’, love the sights and HB. Your photo is not showing for me.

Yeah, lucky to find that local. I highly admire it.

I got this 28-2 while back. Around 1971. Pretty clean!

To me that looks like keep, no tail on the “s” if it was spelled keys, and the questionable “ e”matches the one in “whole”. I would think the invoice would be more accurate than a hand written serial ledger probably based on invoices imo.

Solstice was at 7:42PM PST (yesterday) Can’t beat a solid 15 👌

Were factory engraved pieces generally signed with initials or an engravers mark? Or is that only seen on commissioned work?

This is marked Model 29 in the yoke. No dash. So the 4 screw model 29 marked wasn’t common?
