June 16th 1990 - I didn't even know what a spec ord was until you asked - thanks, I learned something today.
You're welcome. So did I.

Since this seems to be sort of a catalog record of them I will show my 66-3 again. Its a 1 of 300 made for lew horton. serial # is 088 and elsewhere is PCP 0141.
Mine differs from the ad as the stocks are wood. I seen another right after I bought mine with the same wood but that one also had a diamound ivory inlay.

Yours is a 66-3? It looks to have the new style rear sight leaf.

Pulled my 3" 66-3 out of the safe a little while ago; it's serial number BEA4***. It has the non-pinned front ramp sight.
Like others have said, this one was mis-marked as a 2.5" (and mis-priced) at a local Bay Area gun shop.

Really? It's not just very difficult to see?

I just got my two newest home, and my 66-4 3 inch is serial range CAU, product code 102715, Spec. Ord. 6069, finish S, stock SB, features MAG-NA-PORT. I don't understand the SB under stock, it is a round butt, but in SCSW it lists black blade front sight-1994 also for SB, but why under stock.
Here is a picture of them together, I will post better pics later when I have time.

So I drug it back out of the safe today (got all the Mothers' Day dishes done first...) and took a few pictures. Here is one of the front sight, which looks like it is indeed pinned!...
...however, in looking closely, I was reminded of a different discussion thread about the barrel-to-frame matchup of these guns. This one has a visible gap between the shroud and frame:
...it looks larger than it is (I can't get an .0015" feeler gauge in there anywhere) but I got to looking more closely at the gun --- man the barrel-to-frame fit is .. not nearly as neat as the fit on any of my other K-frame magnums.
Couple of other pics showing the fitment -- it's not something I'd ever really noticed before.

Mine is a 66-2. Serial # ANA75XX
This one is DAO with a Factory Bobbed Hammer.
I am sure the DAO Parts are Factory S&W. The parts are Forged. The Trigger is Smooth and app. 0.30 wide.
The Front Sight is a Pinned on Black Blade, .215 Tall at the back tallest point. The Sight Pin is bead blasted to match the side of the front sight ramp. If it has been changed, whoever did it went to a lot of trouble to make the pin look original.
The Back Sight has a solid Black Blade, Taller than my 2.5" 66 No Dash back sight, and does not have rounded corners like my 2.5" does. Again the screws are Cherry, and the Sight Adjustment Screw & Nut shows no sign of the Blade being changed out.
It appears to have a Trigger Job done on it.
It has had Ball Loc added. The Ball is 1/2 Football shape, and not the common round ball like Power Custom installs.
The back strap has also been checkered.
The Grips that were on it when I got it were antique Hogue Rubber Finger Groove. They have a hard plastic insert in the screw hole on the bottom of the grip for the screw to tighten against. The Stirup is made different also. Instead of the stirup holes going on the cross pin as current ones do. This one has the Stock Pin Removed, and the Stirup stradles the bottom of the grip frame. A cylinder shaped piece goes into the holes on the stirup, this cylinder shaped piece is threaded for the Screw.
I am guessing that this is a very early Hogue Rubber Grip.
The old 66 is clean as a pin, and shows no signs of being carried at all.
