After asking about it on this forum first I went ahead and ordered a police trade in model 64 from Adventure Outdoors. Pistol is in excellent condition. Only "issue" one might have is the numbers eteched on the right side. No idea what they are. It is a dash 5 with the serial number starting with BES. Anyone know when it was made ? Here's the one pic I have of it... hopefully this link works.
