N170880 shipped in 1973 or there abouts.
The Highway Patrolman was made between 1954 and 1986. It became the Model 28 in 1957.
Standard barrel lengths were either 4" or 6", with fewer then 100 in 8 3/8".
(measured from the cylinder face to the muzzle.)
It was an "economy" version of the much finer finished and expensive Model 27 .357 Magnum.
S&W will refinish it with a standard polish & blue for $190.00.
