Cool gun. The supply of Jordanian guns dried up quick…….. the guy in Cicero probably thought it was from the town of Jordan which is close to Cicero. They are both in the Syracuse area.

My neighbor had his guns confiscated after a wellness check determined everyone would be better off if he didn't have access to them. I got involved and took custody of them when police had his Il. FOID card revoked and he could no longer legally possess them. None of the firearm's had anything engraved on them, the pistol's were in evidence boxes with the info on the box, the long gun's had hang tag's on them. A guy I worked with had his gun's confiscated under similar circumstances, his gun's were returned to him, unfortunately all had info electro penciled on them.

So they returned his guns damaged. There should be some recourse.

Earlier today, while surfing the Internet for a marked police trade-in S&W 5906, I found this on GunBroker. Look close at leading edge, left side, of the magazine.

Bought a pre WWII M&P the other day that was a “ police sale” pistol that had lots of tape on it. WD 40 took care of it and as soon as back home a through cleaning is in order, will post some pics.

Was the tape used for the grips? Bad guys use to remove the grips because cops could take fingerprints off wood grips but not from tape back in the old days.

Interesting. Same agency and time frame?

No, different time frames and 2 different police departments, I will add that the police also confiscated all my neighbors ammo. When I picked up the gun's I had to sign a statement that the gun's would remain in my possession until my neighbor had his FOID card reinstated. I asked about the missing ammo and was told it had been destroyed. I didn't believe for a minute the ammo had been destroyed, I assumed one of the officers took the ammo home with him. My neighbor's mental and physical health continued to deteriorate and I had his firearms in my possession for over 10 years until he finally passed away and I returned the firearms to his widow. The only thing he had that interested me was a 915 that he had actually purchased from my brother about 20 years prior. I made his widow a fair offer and she sold me the 915, it is now my carry gun.

He was in no position to complain, he was actually surprised that he was able to get them back at all.

No, tape held an ID tag according to the shop guy, said it has been on all police buy guns. Scotch tape on butt of grip.

The longest decade of my life was the 10 months I spent in the flat frozen tundra/tropically hot and humid State of Illinois. Apparently, the weather isn't the only thing that sucks.

I picked up this 59 at an estate sale about 6 years ago. It was marked on the frame, slide, barrel and magazine. I decided I could live with the markings.

g 96-2141-01 Ex. 5 SCB
Appears to be a case number. As I have not seen a case number with a lowercase 'g' as a prefix, not certain what that stands for. But, the remainder appears to be standard:
Year - Sequential Case Number - Exhibit Number - Initials of Court Officer

Found a possible explanation for the lowercase 'g' prefix:
Apparently, in some legal proceedings, the lowercase 'g' is used as an abbreviation for "Government", specifically when referring to a Government exhibit.*

*Note: This explanation was found in an
Australian Government Style Manual.

Bald one, I used to live in WNY ! My brother was a long time officer of West Seneca PD, and the stories he would tell from way back when he got on the force in the late 1970’s regarding the neglect misuse and downright abuse of revolvers the cops carried back then ! Too bad you have so few choices on wher3 to buy handguns in the Buffalo area now.
About 10 years ago I moved to Arizona and when it comes to gun ownership what a delightful change! Oddly enough I found it easier to find old affordable classic revolvers to buy when I lived in WNY!

Same here MajorD .West Seneca was my stomping ground . Left NY for North Carolina 10 years ago . Amazing that you can walk into a gun store here and walk out in 15 minutes with your new love ! Valid North Carolina Concealed Carry Permit negates the need for a NICS check !

Again, while surfing the Internet for a marked police trade-in S&W 5906, I found another evidence marked pistol on GunBroker. Look close at the underside, upper edge, left side of the trigger housing (2nd image below). This is the same evidence number that's on the 5906 magazine posted above. But, the evidence number is not on the magazine shown with this 5906. Plus, the serial numbers are different.
