The ultimate Highway Patrolman thread.including N frame ser# ranges
,Ultimate Highway Patrolman Thread After searching for, and reading almost every Highway Patrolman thread,(there are currently 24 pages when using the search function). I found myself longing for a thread where one could go for all things H.P.
This thread would ideally include serial number ranges, pictures of members guns,including Ser.#s(excluding digits
as preferred) , any info received in letters , and, of course, plenty of opinions.
Kind of a Highway Partolman database, where newbies and all could be directed to, to answer questions.
April, 1954, Highway Patrolman introduced, Ser.# S103500
,8,427 produced in 1954,
Sometime,late 1956 to 1957 the upper sideplate screw deleted at approx. Ser.# S171584 (earlier 4 screw N frames have been noted,but this is generally conceded to be the dividing line.)_ Al
The time between when the upper sideplate screw was deleted and the model number was stamped is when the
4 screw non-model marked N frames were produced. By my estimate, there were approximately 11,000 n.m.m. 4 screws
produced throughout the various models including ,,357 Magnum ,Highway Patrolman ,38/44 Heavy Duty ,44 hand ejector ,1950 Target models , and 1955 Target models. ,How many of these were Highway Patrolman , who only knows.
But do keep your eye out for this scarce variation and let us know whenever you find one
1957, the Highway Patrolman is model # stamped MOD 28 at approx ser.# S1821xx -
1960, as with all N frames during this timeframe, the extractor rod thread is changed from right hand thread
to left hand thread to prevent unscrewing and binding under recoil.
At this time a model marked , 28-1 , was produced ,but no examples have been found.
(Optimistic Note; to you who read this,If ever you should find a model marked 28-1, do what you must to make the deal and contact us here at this forum. We all would love to see one.
1961, or 1962 the Mod.28-2 is born with the elimination of the triggerguard screw, and a change to the
,cylinder stop.
Note;: The earliest 28-2 I have observed is S222652 AND IS A 3 screw gun.
1968 , Diamond center stocks are deleted
1969 begin N serial # prefix
1982,Model 28-3, cylinder counterbore,pinned barrel deleted , cylinder length shortened to 1.57"
1986 , The Highway Patrolman dies an untimely, buy business wise death.
Would any of you having info to add please post it and I will add it to this original post.
There you are, take care and have a great 2008 , Regards ,,Al
