Good question, I've wondered this myself - this is a fantastic collection of great info and pics. I sure hope he's still keeping an eye on his Masterpiece now and then.
Looks like his last activity 6/2/22
THAT'S more like it - and I LIKE IT.
You got yourself a really nice one!

I just bid and won a 28-2 marked NYSP. Awaiting shipping to my FFL. Post em when I get her.
I think that is earlier than the "earliest observed" 28-2 and 3-screw gun listed in the first post of this thread.

Love the grips on your gun. To me they look like either old Hogues or Farrants from the LAPD era. Do you know who made them.
I have 2 and a half model 28-2's.
N101235 was my first handgun, bought new in 1973.
N188938 was purchased two years ago at the SWCA Symposium auction.
The 1/2 model was also purchased at a SWCA Symposium:

LPD256: They are Guy Hogue of course, with S&W medallions. They are two piece with the islands and even had/have wood pegs to help hold the grips in alignment, just like he later used to glue the monogrips together with. I can't be certain if Guy installed the medallions but I am hoping so. Patrick Hogue couldn't confirm that he did. Would be interesting if anyone else has a pair (grips with medallions). Used medallions were used.

I love the original Guy Hogue/John Hurst/Fuzzy Farrant grips, particularly on old Police guns. I thought yours were Guy Hogues. They look really nice. Thanks for your reply. I'm guessing Guy did the medallions as a special request.
One more for the pile, a 4 screw 28 no-dash (190524). Shipped April 1959. Came to me with the cokes, but doubt it shipped that way.

Th is a 28-2, Serial No. N336xx. As you can see, this one has had some work. It went back to the factory for a higher polish finish and action job. Then the trigger face was smoothed and a 14 carat gold bead Patridge front sight pinned in. This is one of my favorites for carry in the mountains and deserts, even in grizzly country as it handles the heavy, hard cast loads wonderfully.

There is just something special about the S&W Model 28!
I'm a fan of the 28 as well and had a few at one time, but still retained a 28 No Dash 4 screw. That unique,smooth sight leaf, that flat black trigger guard, & satin blue finish, tapered barrel, is a working man's revolver!
Culina's for range time!
