4" Model 28-2, #N1849.
Supposedly a police gun from the northeast. No Jinks letter and no markings on the piece itself - so, don't know for sure.

Typographical Gizmo

Does anybody know the name of the typographical gizmo that separates the "357 Ctg" and "Highway Patrolman" on the side of the barrel? I'm buying a 28-2 at my local gun dealers, and I gotsta know. Any scholarly or non-scholarly suggestions are encouraged.

Thanks. They're Ahrends finger groove grips in Cocobolo. You can get them from Ahrends, Brownells, and Top Gun Supply.

I have one marked 28-2 in 45 Colt. Can fiind no info on it. Anyone have any ideas on history and value?

I have he grips from a S&W Model 28, 6" .357 originally purchased in 1969 and later sold w/ Pachmyer grips when I went from uniform to plain clothes. Stamped on the inside of both grips are the letters: "N R." On the right grip is the number 325346.

Q-1 What is meant by the N and R?
Q-2 Is the number on the one grip a serial number to the gun?
Q-3 Can the number be used to relate to the type of frame (e.g., K, etc.)
Q-4 I note that the 1968-69 "S" serial numbers would cover the 325346 IF the number is actually a SN. True or just a coincidence?
Q-5 Any thoughts re what, if anything, all this means?
Q-6 Can any of this (e.g., the number on the grip) be traced to the current owner so I can repurchase the gun?

I'm looking at a k-22 1980's model in 95% condition at $450. Is that a good price?

revans, that is a pretty good price as the 22s are popular now. You might start a new thread with your question and get more answers. This thread is about the model 28s. Welcome to the forum.

I'll try to help you here friend.
This is a post about the Highway Patrolman Model 28. You need to start a new post in the 1961 to 1980 section for an answer.
P.S. that is a good price depending on condition.

 

[revans]

what might the value be of y 198's model 28 in 95% condition?

You originally posted about a K-22 which is a K-frame .22LR. K-22s are highly sought after.
If you have a 28, which as you know is an N-frame .357 Mag, in 95% or better condition it too would be worth about $400-$450.
