Stopped at my LGS this afternoon. 2 guns in the showcase on consignment. One was a pre model number 45ACP revolver. Had a lanyard loop on the bottom of the grip frame. S&W l9go on the left side, on the right was a Large star within a circle. Undervthe circle was 1937. Looks like somebody got too aggressive with a buffing wheel, as all markings are hard to make out. High polish blueing. The other was a nearly new Model 28-2. Locked up well, and a barely visible ring on the cylinder. Unfortunately, somebody engraved their initisls on the left dide of the frame, then teied to grind them off and cold blue over it. I've seen better grinding of the Chrysanthemum on a surplus Jap rifle. Could probably pick up the pair for under $800, just makes me sick that they have been defaced like that.
