Elusive model 68

The majority of those pieces went to Cheshire and Perez in Monrovia for resale. Cheshire and Perez were the West Coast distributor/ warranty repair facility for Smith. They were also the S&W LE distributor, and much of their business came from LE clientele. They did build some PPC guns, but it was sort of a side business for them, as an offshoot of their LE sales.
All correct. I worked there in the ‘79-‘80 timeframe. Good times.

I always thought Chuck (Mr. Electric Pencil) was a good guy to work for. Was Jesse still there when you were? Was Zoe (LACSO) still hanging around?
 
My BIL was a San Diego Police Officer. A friend gave him a M68 OHB. We took it out to the boonies here in Uah and fired the snot out of it with Plus P 38's. He recently passed away after falling off a ladder. Don't know what happened to the M68. Big Larry
 
How many OHBs are there? And of course, would anyone guess a value?

Recent discussion with a member - he wanted to pay around $1200 for a CHP marked one.
I think $1500 price is closer to a CHP marked one.
I think he will be looking for a long time.

I have no opinion for price for OHB marked ones.

Have seen a 68, no dash, no OHB go for $2300.
 
I use my LAPD 68 for NRA bullseye. Front sight was replaced by the factory. I had the single action put back in after I retired

Excellent, well lighted photos, showing exquisite detail of a fine looking revolver, set up for precision target work as it should be. Unfortunately, too few actually know what’s required for precision work, and what’s not. Good job, sir.
