They do reveal ALL of the Engravings, lol. I guess you would have to know and see it with the Stocks Off to understand

I was at my LGS a couple weeks ago and ran across this Engraved M66. It got my attention and since it was there on Consignment, I thought it was fitting to make an offer. Well my offer was accepted. I had no idea who had done the engravings but what I like about it is that it's not overdone...

Recent Akquisition of my M28-2 Love this thread because I just picked up a very nice refinished M28 that is on par with my M27 down to the Nickel Refinish. I swear the trigger is just as nice as the 27 as well. Ghat Blued one you picked up looks very nice with the high polish

I absolutely agree that the early ones with the SS Sights are considered a very nice find. I have one that I don't think I could let go of before I am 80

LOL, was not really looking for an increased value due to an anomaly but rather trying to get it's authenticity validated. Looks like I will never really know so, I am going to assume it is, lol.

Very nice. I'm a big fan of the 15 as well. They are one of the finest shooting .38 Specials there is. here is a picture of my Nickel 15-3 Congratulations on a great find

I have only one HP that I can Contribute to this thread. It is my 28-2, SN N296*** with 6" barrel.

LOL, how very true g8rb8. very true indeed. you would think I would have learned that in my 53 years on this planet but no, not me, I am still distracted by all of the above.

Thats a fine looking M27 Doc.

Abbynormal, Thanks but I did check the hammer and trigger, They are case hardened just a little wore off on the exposed parts but inside after removing the side-plate for inspection and cleaning, they are indeed case hardened. Thanks and all input is appreciated.

After Further inspection with a magnifying glass, it appears to be a refinish with a new barrel. There is ever so slight fracturing of the nickel around the Pin for the barrel. Cant be seen or very hard to see with the naked eye. I don't think the barrel had the roll marks sanded off but left...
