640 38 Spec with the NYPD matte finish

[NYPD_640]

Getting my first decent revolver.
It's a 640 no dash with a matte finish like the NYPD models.
Seems this must have been either blasted at factory or prior
to sale. Predates the NYPD matte models.

Congrats, this is a great carry piece. Mine is a 442 stain nickle, similar in appearance, dates to 1992, is pocket carried and shot for practice monthly, and is a great carry gun.

I have the same gun ... Model 640 No Dash with the matte finish.
No NYPD markings I can see.
I thought all the 640's came in that fiinish.

I just purchased one myself. I wont have it for a while waiting on x-fer.

Mine SN in the BPD2xxx range

I will probably letter it and hope its NYPD...

I want it to go with my M64 NY-1s

Mine is serial number BKU17xx. The below quote is from the seller,

S&W Model 640 NO DASH, NO LOCK, NO MIM .38 Special Revolver that was shipped to & purchased
from the NYPD Equipment Section and was nothing more than a locker queen for many years

Picked up one in satin stainless myself a few weeks ago....love the gun. I am sure you will enjoy yours.

I just picked up one myself dating from '91 with Pachmyer grips - can't wait to shoot it.

I thought the NY-1 revolvers had the vapor hone finish.
