Bright Stainless Model 67 No Dash

Onomea, that is a beauty. The ivories go perfectly with that bright finish. I suspect a lot of us polished those early 67s and 66s back in the day. I know I did. I sent my '72 model 66 back to S&W many years ago to be overhauled. While they had it, they redid the factory brushed finish. The only original parts of my old gun are the frame, side plate and rear sight. Not near as pretty as yours.
OP
I wouldn't hesitate to use +Ps for SD. No need for 'em at the range though.
I'm not a big stainless guy, but that 67 is absolutely stunning.
Summer 1974, I had $350 burning a hole in my pocket from Air Force ROTC summer training. I walked into a Lodi, NJ gun shop, and there was a 67 No Dash, stainless sights and all. One pistol permit (NJ sucks) later I had parted with the majority of that $$ and was the proud owner.
So, on a spring 1975 flight home from VMI, a connection took me through DC and was too late to check baggage. I told the agent I had a gun in the bag and she said, "you're not supposed to joke about that"...and then big as life on the x-ray screen. My compadre - who later became quite an Air Force lawyer - started talking, the checker said "I thought he was joking" and they let us off - the pilot put the piece in cockpit, I got it back after we landed.
Later sold it but always regretted it...so last year, a very nice unfired mint condition no-dash popped up on GB. They'll bury that one with me....

I don't think it was a police gun. Revolvers are some kind of oddities in German police equipment, they usually go with semi-autos since the 1920s (Walther PP and PPK were the standard back then). But each gun sold in Germany has to have proof marks, otherwise it's illegal to sell. Quite sure it was a privatly owned gun.
This one was obtained from a friend whose father had been a gunsmith and gun shop owner in Nashville, back in the day. I paid, at the time, market plus value but, it now has a value in excess of what I paid.
The fact that it shoots to the point of aim is expected from this model and its twin, the Model 15.
This is my Model 67, no dash.

Snagged this one last summer NIB 1975 vintage.
That shine up job sure looks tempting.

I HAD a 67 "no dash" at one time, box and papers, SS sights. Alas, I sold it during a period of "personal economic downturn" along with a lot of other guns I HAD. Such is life.
I do have a 67-1 on layaway right now however, and hope to get it out of hock in a few days if I get the time to go by there again. I've got a few hundred wadcutters ready.
I'll probably add a BK to it, or a set of rosewood presentation grips I've got laying around.

I notice the OP's Model 67 has a service hammer, not the semi-target hammer commonly found on these guns. Probably changed out during the overhaul. Nice gun!

Thanks, I hadn't realized the trigger has been changed out, but I have been thinking about having the trigger polished smooth. I don't shoot single action hardly at all and I don't care for those serrations when shooting DA.
I made a correction in my post above. I intended to say that the HAMMER had been changed out, not the trigger. The trigger on your gun is of the original service style; that is to say .265" in width, with grooves (or serrations).
The hammer on your gun is like the one on the Model 64 M&P revolver, also known as the service hammer (and also .265" in width). Sorry for the confusion!
