This must be part of that lady's plan to make America pretty again--seems to be working.

Looks like a refinish to me but what do I know.
I have a polished 4" also that was redone by the factory a number of years ago.

Agreed, it's a reblued gun. The roll stamp on the barrel is less sharp than it should be. The rear sight is also not the original, the sight tang should be smooth with no grooves, just like the barrel rib and top strap. Stocks aren't original, magnas came on M28's (unless ordered with Targets). Still a nice looking revolver, and none of these things affect how it will shoot.
Look at the center gun's sight tang, top strap, and rib:

Yes. Nothing original about this one. It's a 28 wanting to be a 27.
Reading the comments. I have a couple of other 28's with the "Matt" finish.
If this one was blued, wouldn't it have needed to be polished to get the sheen it has? Not real high high polish but certainly more than an original 28 finish.
What was done to make it shine like this?

Great looking gun.
This is a 28?
Yup, "S" prefix 28-2. Here's a current pic with its older sibling (no dash 28 6"):

Perhaps it is an M-28 that "strongly identifies" as an M-27.
