Bad photo but here is a 1972 vintage 66 it came complete
with box, tools, and paperwork factory fired only.
I still have not managed to shoot it.
I added the presentation stocks...slick little rig.
My model 67 was bought new in 1972. It rode with me as a police officer for several years. In 1979 original Nite Sights were added and it was worn on duty for a few more years until we were allowed to carry the .357 Magnum. After it was retired for a model 19, my gunsmith was experimenting with some ideas for DAO PPC revolvers. I turned the gun over to him to make a duty revolver in DAO. The butt was changed from square to round. The SA was removed and the DA smoothed and the hammer spur removed. the trigger stop had beeen removed and replaced by an allen headless screw.
I find the S&W Model 66 and 67 to be one of the best balanced revolvers in my collection. I just wish I could find a proper set of grips for each of them and I'd be set.
Here's my old LAPD issue 67 that I carried until the Beretta came along in '87. It then rode in the sock drawer until retirement last year. A trip back to Springfield for an action tune and bead blast made her like new and a fun shooting companion again.

Model 67 no dash above a 66-1 .
Although the lighting doesnt allow enough color perception to see it,
The Model 67 (above) has the more rare Stainless steel rear sight aperature.
The 66-1 rear sight aperature (below) is the more common black.
Here's my 66-2 with 4" barrel -- made in 1982, I believe. So far it's my only Smith and by far my favorite handgun, but I hope to add more as funds allow.
