Has anyone ever seen a S&W Model 28 in Stainless with gold plated trim?
I recently found this old Smith Model 28, 4" barrel,.357 Highway Patrolman in shiney
stainless steel, (except on the top strap, where it is matte finish stainless),"S" prefix on the serial number, pinned barrel, recessed cylinder, Gold Plated Target Hammer, Gold Plated Trigger, Gold Plated Thumbpiece, Gold Plated Ejector Rod, blued rear sight. Butter smooth action. Stag grips.
This is a pretty gun.
This unusual old Model 28 was inherited as a part of an estate collection.
The history of this piece is that it was a "presentation revolver", given to a relative in appreciation of xxxx years in law enforcement. The person who sold it is known to me. She is getting up in her age, the economy is going down hill, retirement accounts are shrinking, Christmas is coming, etc.
Before anyone asks, sorry, but I also am getting up in years and have never learned to post a picture.
My guess is a S&W custom shop Model 28, as every other Model 28 I have ever seen has been blued.
Any opinions on this old Model 28? I suspect there is a lot of Model 28 knowledge on this site.
Appreciated.
