Will Smith and Wesson provide a historical letter for your gun and do you have to pay for it ? Would be curious to see the original purchase info on a Model 28-2.

I have a couple. 4" no dash S181*** and 28-2 S303*** also a 4". Had the 28-2 at the range yesterday.

28-2 with combats. Purchased with non original magnas so I added some combats for shooting.

The Smith and Wesson Historical Foundation now issues letters for S&W hand ejectors.
Yes, there is a fee for the service.

Got this last week. First HP. 28-2 serial S276xxx. So 66 or 67 is my best guess. Wash. State Patrol marked. Looks heavily used as there is finish loss on the barrel and cylinder. Not abused (I hope). Not sure if the target grips are original, but I guess.

I picked up two hp m28-0 and one hp m28-2. I like to send one of my m28-0 to fords to be nickeled. Along with my new unfixed m29-10.

Here is my Model 28-2 with serial number N85054. It's a shooter and definitely no Collectors piece.

Here are a couple of 6-inchers I picked up a few months ago. I guess it is only fitting that they also get posted in the "Mother-Of-All" Model 28 threads.

A brace of 28-2 HIGHWAY PATROLMANS

picked up another 28-2, hardly a cylinder line 6 inch. Very very nice. 449.00 otd at Gettysburg sat. 14th. Seller said it was a police confiscation. The blind squirrel once again. Spotted just inside door, jumped on it! Serial #N245187.

Great price. That's getting dang close to J-frame Airweight pricing.

Have you checked for matching grip s/n yet?

Don't make us hold our breath for pics!

No worries mate, just means you can shoot that little dingo guilt free.

I only have one M28, my 1978 6" -2.
It was wearing these Pachmayr grips when it was given to me.



I was also given the original Magna stocks that came on the gun.



Then I added a nice set of Target stocks.



And now it rests on my nightstand.

It has spent its entire life in that holster except when I has it drawn from the holster to shoot rabbits.

My most recent S&W acquisition.....

 

[shrade]

Here is one to add to the 4 screw non MN data base. Picked it up at the local show this past weekend. Shipped sometime in 57? HP's are very seldom seen in this part of the country, so I jumped at the chance to own this beauty.
