my fhp very rare

sorry for the bump added photos to first post wanted everybody to see.

Holy Cow bmg60, Great to hear from somebody else. Can you tell me how you acquired yours? I would love to hear the story. If we did not talk on here before then that would account for 3 of them. If you are the guy that messaged back and forth with me earlier this year in about april then...

well i might be showing my ingnorance and would be open to education but i would be surprised if the pearl grips were original. not a colt guy but wouldnt be surprised if they were add ons. ever had your gun appraised? just curious if the colts are as rare as the smiths.

yes sir the s/n you have is the one my family owns. we talked earlier this year or last year. you were a great source of help to me. thanks again.

click on the thumbnail above and you will be looking a fhp 28. it is the best pic i have right know i need to get a camera with better resolution. but this is the actual gun. the tyler t's are aftermarket of course.

Well upon waiting for further scanning of the letter when I get it I will post here goes a little bit. The FHP 28 in our family was a duty weapon issued to my grandfather in law in 1958 I think maybe 1959. He carried it until his death from a heart attack in early 1961. At which time it was...

I found out about a gun in our family almost a year ago and this forum helped me get educated. So I am now just asking the question, Does anybody else out there own or ever owned a REAL LIVE FHP 28? This is a factory nickel finished 5" barrel .357. As I recall 25 were made. I am interested...

VM, The answer to your question is no I have never gotten it lettered yet. I need to do that in the worst way. Every time I take pictures with a digital camera the flash eats up the S/N with that nickel finish. I really need to solve this problem and get it lettered. I have waited and...

Thanks All, The magnet trick doesn't work on my 66-1 pinned and and recessed 6". the magnet sticks. Does the same thing on the 28-2. Next The SN range is N285,20x, so it does contain the N prefix. One last question will the crane on an L-frame fit on an N-frame? The crane has the...

Lets try again. Has anybody heard of a factory stainless 28-2 4" .357? It is supposed to be a 70's model issued to the border patrol in limited quantity. My buddy traded for it and its not in the book. I am skeptical and now so is he. Anybody got anything on this? Can get the s/n don't...

I have used Lesco. It is good. You can burn your yard with it. I stand by milorganite cause you can use the snot out of it and never burn your yard. Just have to mow more.

Responding to the gentleman quoting warren buffett. Its been about 7-10 years ago Warren Buffett bought every ounce of silver he could get his hands on. This is his forte he reads the market years in advance. He has plenty of silver left regardless of what he says. Just an FYI. Buffett is...

Milorganite is a natural fertilizer that is relatively inexpensive in my area. I buy it at lowes and home depot. It has no weed killing properties but you can use it as stated on the bag or you can pour the coals to it and use 3,4,5, times the amount listed. Will never ever burn your yard...

Yeah, I didn't expect much. My father in law, has his fathers service revolver and have been tracking down history on this piece and I was just hoping I might here from somebody who knew somebody whose uncles, cousins, mother in laws dads, brother might have been in those days. His father died...
