Police Department Marked S&W Revolvers

[big50_1]

Decided to start collecting police department S&W revolvers. I have two: a mod. 13-3 (Sacto Sheriff) and a mod. 67 (CHP). They also letter to the departments. BUT I haven't seen a police marked S&W revolver in a while. They used to be really common in gun stores. Anyone know of a source in CA? At one time CA police put the guns on the open market but I guess they are destroyed now. I'm also putting this thread in the 1980 to Present section.

Due to the safe gun roster most ex law enforcement revolvers are being sold out of state. The last large group was from the California department of corrections and rehabilations.

I was afraid of that. The "hit-or-miss" technique of finding PD marked guns is not working well. Thanks.
