How's it going men? I've been craving a 4" model 28 for some time now and haven't been able to locate one at any of the local shops. I was looking to trade a never fired Rem 700 in .300 Win mag that has been sitting around collecting dust. I went to a small fun show this morning that I have never been to before. I got there a half hour early and was one of the first people in line. As soon as I got through the door I started my usual grid pattern search looking for goodies. Right off the bat I found a nice nickel model 19 with a 6" bbl in damn near mint condition except that some @ss hat did a crappy polyurethane job on the grips. Not exactly what I was looking for but got excited when I looked at the sticker and it said "425 or best offer" I was very tempted and going against my better judgment I put it down and continued the search for the 28 all the while thinking to myself that it will be gone when I circle back. I went through the entire show and there were no 28's to be found. I made my way to the last table and saw a pistol case filled with old Colts I started looking around and Bingo a model 28!!! But it was a 6 inch bbl. I asked to have a look at it and it was clean and tight with a hint of holster wear at the muzzle and a 600$ price tag. So I offered up my Remington and the man obliged, YES!!! As I'm doing the paper work all I could think about was that pretty model 19 that I left behind so as soon as I was done I double timed it back to the table where it was only to find another guy fondling it. 
So I stood there listening to him go back and forth with the dealer about price. The guy offered him 385 out the door and he said no, just when I thought he was going to offer him 400$ he handed it back and said "I will be RIGHT back". I pounced on that thing like white on rice, and offered the dealer 400$ cash out the door and he said SOLD! The look on the other guys face was priceless! 
Anyway it was a good day at the gun show!!!
I need to date both of these revolvers can someone help me out?
