The ultimate Highway Patrolman thread.including N frame ser# ranges

[Full Moon Shooter]

I was able to find time to completely disassemble and clean my new HP today. Everything looked good on the inside. I also took some photos of the frame markings as well as some overall shots. Not sure how to post photos yet, trying to do it directly f on my phone. Any advice on getting the photos posted would be appreciated. I also saw Gunnison's post to Jtown that was reposted. Gunnison, if there are any specific details on my HP you would like let me know.
Thanks,
FMS

So as I was reading my previous post I noticed I fat fingered my key board and made an error on my serial number. It is actually S1763** which puts it into the 1957 year range. Would this make it on of the last NMM 4 screw HP?

Just purchased this Model 28-2 6" barrel(1979-1980) Ser.#N5776xx. I also have a early Highway Patrolman (1958) that I previously listed.

Picked up another 28-2 at Gettysburg show Saturday, N26121 extremely nice only very short ring, firing pin ring not even scratched. Has Target footballs, standard trigger and hammer, no box. Nicest 28 I have handled. price 599.00 out the door. Add to the list.

I'm being offered a 28-2 w/ SN N85641 which, from what I can tell, was made between 1969 and 1972 from refrencing the first page of this thread.

Anyone have more info, basic things to look for and perhaps a value?

Hey phortykal, that's a really nice specimen. It's been a while since you requested info, but if you were able to pick it up, congratulations! Do the grips number to the gun? If so that would be a bonus, but if not they are still period correct.

And welcome to the Forum!

Lots of great info, thanks to all.

Is there anyone on here who owns one of the 25 Florida Highway Patrol 5 inch revolvers ?

 

[M. Hutchinson]

I have serial number S 109945 it has a 4 inch barrel. It has a non factory nickel finish and a beautiful set of old sambar stag grips, it shows a good bit of holster wear but it shoots great. I will post a picture of it when I figure out how.

Posted before, but this a good excuse to post again. Left to right, my '72, '79, and '75 HP's.

And as posted on another thread, just painted the front sights on the two that I shoot.

 

[CajunBass]

I don't think I've posted this one here. I've had other Model 28's, but sold/traded them off. This time I traded into this one.





S/N is in the N-5971XX range, which if I read my book right is in the 78-80 time frame. If it's been fired it hasn't been very often.

I recently picked up a Mod 28-2 4inch SN N25399X, dating assistance needed. Came with box, dox, and tools. Purportedly un fired since factory. P&R. SWAG on possible value. Pics as soon as Tech support gets home. (Wife)

Thanks in advance

Very probable 1976. I have a N2402XX shipped Dec. 1975 and N2685XX shipped Jan. 1977.

Here's a pair, top is 1960 4-screw with a smooth trigger I added, bottom 4-digit N-serial dates to 1970:

As it sits today with an old set of ivories and a 4" barrel that has been re-bored to 41 caliber. It leaves this week to get the short barrel installed, the cylinder rechambered to 41 Special and engraving by Brian Powley. I probably won't see it back for nearly 2 years.

I think yours has to be 1958. A lettered one with slightly lower SN is 1958. Mine is S1764** and I'm thinking it must be 1958 as well. It's also A NMM 4 screw.

Hi all. Ive been a lurker here for sometime and since I just acquired a model 28-2 serial # S275804 I figured I'd throw it in the mix here. Please forgive my poor quality phone pic.
