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

[mhg2tld]

The Highway Patrolman that I gave my son is a 1957, 4 inch, S1764XX,
NMM, 4-screw.

I believe your 4 Screw NMM Highway Patrolman makes a total of 10 so far including both 4 and 6 inch barrels. Has anyone recorded the ones in this thread?

 

[mhg2tld]

Thanks for that info Gunnison. I did not know these were so rare. I personally have no idea if anyone has recorded the ones on this thread or where they would even be recorded.

I looked at a 28-2 this morning and like a dummy didn't take any photos. It must have been a salesman's sample. It was nickle plated with flats milled on each side of the barrel and in script on the left side it had Smith and Wesson and on the other side the caliber, (I think). There was one on this forum several months ago and I can't find it now. I have searched with no luck. Can anybody put a finger on it and let me know where it's at, or maybe deleted?

Thanks in advance,

Leon

That is a great looking HP!! I'm sure you'll enjoy it as much as the rest of us enjoy ours!! Remember, as pretty as these guys are, they were made to be shot!! Solid, heavy, durable, and accurate.

Best Regards, Les

28-2 Rubber grips

Did the 28-2 ever come from factory with rubber/Pacmyer grip? Was there a S&W logo? Thanks

Firearms that have been carried and fired, basically used for what they are intended, are more interesting than otherwise. Yours fits that category.

No not quite. The gun frame was a project a friend of mine never finished before he passed. His family gave it to me. It was parkerized over some pitting. The rest of the revolver I scrounged up to complete it. It shoots good.

That's all that matters

I bet it means a lot to you and I'm sure your friend is looking down, happy to know you continued his project and have it in good working order. Cherish and enjoy it.

I have an old .22 and shotgun a buddy of mine owned, his wife gave them to me when he passed. I refinished the stocks, cleaned them up and have them in good working order. They are of little monetary value but I'm happy to have em, every time I look at them or shoot them I think of my good friend Ed and the days we spent plinking on his farm.
