3” barrel for model 64?

[Wildbillz]

The revolver is a 64-3, mid-80s. That it was the badge number scratched into the side was from the description of the listing. So sounds like erroneous info now after getting the facts straight from you Leo’s. Now I wonder, since it is a serialized gun, what the significance of the 1180 number was. Prob just a civie revolver then as that was the only reference to
The nypd. Unless it was purchased by a retiring officer that wanted to commemorate
His duty revolver with his badge number?

Or it might be a case number scratched into the side of evidence gun.

we only had to do that in the absence of a serial number. The numbered voucher showed the custody, but maybe it was done that way before my time.

I started working for a state agency in NYC in 1969, we channeled our arrests through local NYPD precincts at the time and followed their procedures.

The only time I saw guns get scratched was when an arrest was made, the arresting officer would scratch his or her initials on it to show chain of custody when it went to and came back from the property clerk's office for court.

This does happen quite often. Marked as evidence.
