Not wanting to hijack the other thread, I have a few questions. Just how rare are the 2" M&P's? Any idea how many were produced? What would the approximate value be of one in, lets say 85%? It's not reblued and has no star at the serial no. nor any return dates stamped in the grip frame. Just holster wear and a graying grip frame. It does have a perfect action and timing and lockup are perfect.
I picked this one up a few years back off of an auction site. It was wearing a pair of post war magnas, I had these grips that it wears now. I appreciate all replys.
I sent for a letter today.
I received the letter from Roy today. It states: We have researched your Smith & Wesson .38 Military & Police Model of 1905 Fourth Change, State of Massachusetts Contract, caliber .38 S&W Special, revolver in company records which indicate that your handgun, with serial number 626519 was shipped from our factory on April 20, 1934, and delivered to George F. Harold Co., New York City, NY for the State of Massachusetts. The records indicate that this revolver was shipped with a 2 inch barrel, blue finish, and checkered black hard rubber round butt grips. This shipment was for 15 units all in the same configuration and they were billed at $19.07 each.
Now I guess I gotta find a pair of correct grips.
