All correct. I worked there in the ‘79-‘80 timeframe. Good times.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.
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?All correct. I worked there in the ‘79-‘80 timeframe. Good times.
Have seen a 68, no dash, no OHB go for $2300.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.

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.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
