I picked this up at a pawnshop for $325, and fear I overpaid. I was just so impressed by the single-action pull, which is just amazingly light.
The heavy barrel is marked "PATTON'S GUNS", and the backstrap is engraved "LOWELL POLICE DEPT 9". The inside of the frame says "6222" and the bottom of the butt says "667525", but doesn't look like the S&W stamps I'm used to. It's like a deeper square punch with the letters at the bottom, so not sure if the PD stamped deeper lettering on top of old lettering or what.
Not front sight, but the heavt barrel has two screw holes and there's another screw hole in the sight channel on the frame.
A bit of googling showed there was once a "Patton's Guns" in Michigan, about 45 min away from a town called Lowell, so that's probably the geography of it.
What kind of revo is this (pre Model 10 M&P?), and what sport has it been modified for? Any idea what it's worth, given the mods and that it's been refinished?
