I'll start with one of the great deals R.M.Vivas sold a few years ago, the box full of ex-NYPD guns he got from Yonkers Raceway. He sent mine with a copy of the NYPD Property Ledger that showed this revolver was issued (or sold, however they did that) to Officer Alexander Sterling, February 25, 1959. It's a 4" .38 Special M&P, the serial number shows it was made in 1957.



This revolver has a lot of holster wear, as you can imagine, but still shoots as good as the day it was made. Lots of wear to the right side grip from getting in and out of police cars...

How it wound up in a "Down in the Dumps" horsetrack would be an interesting story. Now it's out to pasture with me, shot occassionally, cleaned and put away for the next range day.
