My first post on the forum included a small thumbnail of this revolver, an S&W Model 28-2. I thought I would show it again and include some more detailed photos. I bought this piece from a local pawn and gun early in 2022. The S prefix serial number indicates 1962 manufacture. As you can see, it's in great shape. However, it did not come with box and papers and it was wearing a rather unattractive Pachmayr grip for N-Frame. I managed to find a S&W blue box; not for this model but period correct. On EBay I found an original owner's manual from 1967 and a set of Altamont classic panel grips for N-frame S&W. From all I have read in S&W catalog #3 this piece would have originally been wearing magna or target stocks. The grips I have are kind of like magna grips but they are made of Santos rosewood. I think the dark satin-finish goes great with the satin metal finish of the 28, but I admit they wouldn't be the correct type for this revolver. Anyway, I'm loving it just the way it is now and it will be a shooter; not a safe queen. Thanks for looking.
