For folks expert in all things Smith and Wesson...
Today (April 29), I stumbled into a square butt S&W M60 38 Special, 2" barrel, J-frame which followed me home. In doing some research on the revolver, it is apparently part of a special order from the John Jovino gun store in New York.
From the Standard Catalog of Smith and Wesson book, the serial number (AECxxxx) is from the correct time frame (1984) and the production date on the box is April 6, 1984. (Product code 102303)
The question is, the gun is stamped M60 no dash but it was made a couple years after Smith and Wesson began making the Model 60-1.
So, the question is...
Is the revolver a Model 60 (no dash) or a Model 60-1.
Thanks for the information.
