I finally got around to checking some serial numbers on a couple revolvers I hadn't checked before.
On my one and only Detective Special the crane has big "X" under what appears to be the serial number. Is it part of the serial number or indicative of something else, like the "M" on early S&W 686s?
It would be either C594xx or C594xx X.
Perhaps it indicates a refinish? The thing seems a little too new for something that's been around since 1973, if I'm reading "proofhouse" right. The hammer sides are white if that helps.
An older pic from when I got it a bit over a year ago:
It's a shooter - I'm only curious about the serial number as I'd like to get it right for my records only.
