28's were never bead blasted "matte" blue. They had a soft, brushed finish.I can only remember the model 28 being bead blasted in a matte blue.
Almost all nickel plated S&W revolves I looked at had 'N' stamped on the underside of the barrel above the ejection rod. I have seen factory nickel model 581 service revolver sometimes called Distinguished Service Magnum so odd nickel versions of service weapons do exist. I'm sure this was rather uncommon, but not being revolver guy I passed on it.Smith and Wesson .357 mag highway patrolman sn N572382 model 28-2

If it is a real Highway Patrolman with a factory nickel finish, the Factory letter will add more to the value then it costs.
