Dennis the B, Thanks for your excellent information. I guess many of the officers opted to remove the wooden target grips and go for Pachmars or Hogues. I have one of the LDP marked .38's as wel.l

This one is marked with the shield and Louisville Div. of Police. Nice high polish blue at about 95%, pinned and recessed, 4 inch barrel, .44 Magnum. SN# is N135721. Target hammer and trigger. I have some target grips to replace the Pachmar wrap arounds. After talking with a few retired...

Malysh, I tested the cylinder and barrel with a magnet and they are not stainless. I missed on of those MSP Airweights a couple of weeks ago by about 20 minutes.

thanks..better now? I had just lucked into these grips.

yes.. The grips are Hogue and the previous owners dog chewed on the back a little bit. It has an AVT prefix. The finish has some minor issues but I guess it was an OK deal at the price.

I returned this morning. After closer inspection it had, wide hammer, wide trigger and some minor wear at the muzzle end, some minor freckles and a very small scratch on the side plate. I could still get it for $400 OTD.

Local pawn shop has a Smith & Wesson Model 29-3, .44 Magnum, blued, 6 1/2 inch barrel, excellent condition, after market Hogue grips. It is priced at $449 but I am sure they would take an offer of $400. Hmmmmm.

Richard, That Model 49 looks like a real keeper. I kind of like those grips though. Kind of like a gamblers revolver. Your cousin Eddie "His heart was bigger than his head."

Indiuckian, Now being from Indiana you might not know what a Hoosier Handkerchief might be. Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Ohio, Tennessee, West Virginia and Virginia most likely refer to this as a Kentucky Handkerchief. The disgusting act of blowing ones nose without the aid of a...

And a little extra.. “Hoosier Handkerchief” Uncle Chester, It has been awhile. Old timey hunting hat, he had no sense of style. If it swam he caught it. Fish was always fried. Turtle, bass, bream and carp..everything was tried. Uncle Chester ran a long trap line In the basement we...

I picked up a Model 38 Bodyguard today. Pinned barrel, SN# 793J4 on grip frame base, matching grips. The barrel, rod and cylinder are nickel plated and have 7934* (star) stamped on them. It has a wide target trigger. JUst thought it was interesting, affordable and in very good condition.

I just got some good info on my ESCD marked revolver. A gunboards member was in corrections academy and recalled the revolvers being marked ECSD. Escambia Couty Sheriffs Department..Pensacola, Fla. Stainless in Florida..good idea!

Nice revolver..I think it is from Edmunds County South Dakota...ex police revolver? SN#30D33xx. Any clues as to DOM? It is in very good condition and locks up tight.

Model 527 What the heck..it is hard to find, it is in excellent condition and he is asking $600 so I just jumped.

There is a Smith& Wesson Model 520, N frame, pinned 4 inch barrel, blued, .357 magnum for sale. It evidently was part of a 3,000 contract for the New York State Police but they were never issued. Sounds pretty good..also looks pretty good. Any feed back is welcome.

Rick, I thought about the stainless advantage in the humid sub-tropical climate in Miami. There are also some stainless Smith .40 cal semi autos around here that are Dade County marked. It seems likely that there are a few more revolvers like mine out there. Thanks for the info.

Memphis.. No..but I though this was an interesting link. pw_tennessee (worldinventory)

The dealer who had this revolver was pretty sure it was a Miami P.D. issue handgun.
