Picked this one up recently. Needs to be re-"vapor honed". I will put an unmolested thumb piece on it.

Don't believe that is a no dash NY- 1. ND too early for 64 NY-1. Maybe they didn't stamp the dash.
Mine is a -4, it was not vaporhoned, the later ones were, iirc. Also the serial # was stamped on the left side.
More knowledgeable folks will chime in.
My 3 inch and 2 inch are vapor honed.

Don't want to sound stupid
But does vaporhoned mean?
Thanks.

I believe you are correct. The 3 digit alpha prefix should be later than a ND. But there is no artifact of a dash # being on the gun. Maybe it was left off. I did a quick review of the std cat and it looks like the side SN and vapor hone were later.

If I'm correct vaporhoned is a kind of bead blast. MagnaPort uses it on their guns and calls it Velvet Hone I believe.

vapor hone
Vapor Hone finish was specified by NYPD at some point. It is created blasting with a slurry of water and fine grit blasting media. It gives a nice consistent matte finish.

Gary, the later vaporhoned ones had laser etched serial numbers.
Forum member BigBoku, along with a few others, know everything about these NY-1's including model 60 NY-1's.

Here is another no-dash round butt example. No evidence of a stamped dash. The feature set, however, is from a later revision.
Most of mine are dash-4s and dash-5s, but this is the second no-dash marked gun to have spent time in the safe.
Gratuitous 60 NY-1 with silhouette pic, because it's cool.

I really appreciate these well-worn duty guns. They each have a story to tell.

I am retired LEO and love old PD guns. I have a few. Some are marked and some not.

I just stopped by to say I'm jealous of that 3inch 64" you are showing. I've got the 2 inch and it's a good gun, but that 3inch with full length ejector looks like the bomb.
Also, I knew the NYPD guns had a different finish, I didn't know it was called vapor honed. I learned something new.
