66-5 3.25" Hi Viz - Engraved

[SFIDEC]

Just picked this 66-5 and thrilled with the purchase but unsure about engraving as to whether it's aftermarket or factory. Box label doesn't show anything related to engraving that I see.
Any information about this Lil Darlin will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Ray

Looks like the factory laser engraving that they used to offer.

The gun was a Stocking Dealer special. I have attached the flyer for your review....

Ray,

I tried to find one of the S&W flyers that showed the laser engraving during that era, but came up empty. Maybe one of our esteemed members here will have it saved and is kind enough to share it with us.

I had the same exact model for a while. They are very nice. I had a custom IWB holster made by AKJ Concealco just for it. If you might be interested in it, I can send pics.

The earliest I have seen mention of laser engraving was 1997 and they offered both when your revolver was made.
