I just bought A 58, stamped SAPD. Minor holster wear. It came with a letter from Smith & Wesson stating when it was shipped and that it was shipped to the San Antonio Police Dept. Also a letter from the SanAntonio Police Dept. stating when it was placed in service and when it was removed from service and the the Company they sold it to in Kansas City, Mo. also came with two boxes of ammo.

Wow this is weird. I recently acquired a model 58 that's stamped SAPD as well.
It's got holster wear too. I really didn't know much about it when I bought it, just thought it was an interesting oddball to add to my collection.
I need to find a photo hosting site and I'll start posting pics.
It's good to ask folks who know...I paid $1000 for one with the original box, tools, instructions, 4 boxes of Remington LFN ammo, and no holster wear BUT it had target grips, target hammer, and target trigger - the label did not indicate those came with the gun, so someone added them.
It's a great shooter, but I paid too much by not being more careful.

I am not much of a 41 mag fan and prefer adjustable sight guns. But, I would buy that 58 at that price. They have a strong following and with good reason. You can own it, shoot it and if you ever tired of it get your money + from it.

Shortly before I retired I had to turn in my Glock 22 to have some work done on it. A bad round messed it up. They had just issued the last Glock we had to a new hire and the armorer told me to wear what I wanted until the Glock came back. I got my old SAPD marked 58 out of the safe. I replaced the rubbers with a stag grip and a Tyler T. I got a lot of comments on it. A lot of folks have never heard of a .41 magnum.
