I just inherited a 28-2 and after trying to do some research on it, I end up here. I see most of the numbers posted having S or N with 6 digits. My serial number is N with 4 digits. Am I to assume that it's a 1969-1972 production model?
I'll try to get a pic up soon. I think I'm the first person to clean it in 30 years, so it has a little bit of pitting. I've taken off the original (and matching number) grips and replaced them with a Hogue grip for now. I just wanted something bigger than the originals. I really want to go...
I've been lurking around here for a bit (since inheriting my Model 28-2). I've owned a few HK, Colts, Springfields, with this being my first S&W. Let me say, this thing is such a shooter. Man, I wish I would've had it years earlier.
