Very nice group of vintage revolvers! You're well on your way to having a fine collection. Do you have any idea in which direction your collecting is going? Continue with K-frames, or branch out into more N-frames, J-frames, etc.? My modest collection consists of mostly vintage N-frames with a smattering of K-frames and L-frames. Enjoy!
OP
I don't consider myself a collector. I just buy stuff I'd like to shoot, like that 4" 14-3 heavy barrel. Need to add an N or L frame 357 .
That 4" 14 caught my eye. Dayton Police Supply ordered 1040, mostly for Dayton PD, but they were earlier 14-2's, heavy barrel in the K623337-K624496 range. As you probably know the 14's were 6" guns and later in 8 3/8".
As I check my letter for K623995 it was in a shipment of 180 guns to DPS. My friends and I bought a few guns from them way back when.

I thought the 4" 14 looked more like a dash two because of that. Would you care to show the serial number? You can X the last two or three. I'm just curious, as I like model 14s.
Thanks for sharing your group. "Where do we go now?"

When I wrote...1040, mostly for the Dayton PD...I meant to say mainly for the Dayton PD. Dayton could never need over a thousand guns for their department. Why Dayton would want a 4" model 14 is beyond me but that's what they wanted and S&W obliged. The Dayton 14's are pretty popular with OGCA folks lie me.
Dayton Gun Headquarters was the name of the distributor that ordered the guns. They were referred to in their advertising as Hanen Specials.
