They came with checkered walnut square butt service grips standard...there were target grips available, but I believe they were special order or after market for N frames in general...
The Model 28 was a plain jane police service revolver, but also one of the best revolvers they ever made, IMO.

I can't help you on the value - mine was refinished and I got it so cheap I won't mention the price I hate jealousy.

IIRC, stocks would be diamond magnas or diamond targets.

"Good condition" is a pretty subjective description. I would expect a tag of $500 give or take $50 depending on the particulars.

They are terrific revolvers.

R Crabtree is correct except I would say give or take a hundred.

I will get the ser# and post it I was told it is from the mid 50's,and @90% on the finish no pitting or holster were,or scratches,just the slight marks on the cylinder were it drags when turning,and barrel looks clean with no pitting.
