G.S.P. 28-2 is Home

[Retired W4]

The S&W repair shop out did themselves this time. I was a little worried about the bead blast portion of the Highway Patrolman and the G.S.P. stamp above the trigger. The folks in the shop really impressed me with their understanding of how these revolvers were supposed to look. I don't have any "before" pictures but this thing was a Georgia State Patrol issue gun for many years, and it showed. It was beat.

Here is how it looks today.

Excellent ! What a beauty.
Wonder if GSP ordered with wider hammer or if that was done later?

Perhaps I can help answer this question regarding the hammer on your GSP marked 28-2. I had one also many years ago it was a 4" barrel with the GSP marking in the same location above the trigger in the cylinder window. My gun came with a lanyard loop and a standard hammer and standard trigger. Only thing my gun was bored out to 44 magnum using the original HP barrel and cylinder. No markings to identify who did the work but the meat on the cylinder between the charge holes seemed to be rather thin so I was afraid of shooting it, and just traded it off. The gun did have a great action so I suspect it may have been worked on.

Neither the letter nor the invoice mentions the hammer or trigger on the 25 gun order from March, 1972 but I have no reason to believe anything was changed out after delivery.
