Highway Patrolman Question

[CTStanley]

Hello all,

I have a question about the age of a Highway Patrolman I recently came across.

SN is S119XXX.

I'll start with that and then ask more if it is warranted.

Thanks.

Here is a thread that has a lot of information, according to it, S119XXX would be from 1954-1955..........

The ultimate Highway Patrolman thread.including N frame ser# ranges

I have S111558 that shipped in July of 1954.

I would say that MARINEVET is right on the date for yours.

Welcome to the Forum! Lots of Highway Patrolman (and Model 28) fans to be found here along with a wealth of information. The HP you're looking at is most probably a first year (1954) revolver, and quite desirable. Here's a couple of pics of my 4" HP, s/n S114481 (July-Aug 1954) along with some later Model 28-2s (ca. 1970s). Let us know if you need more info.
