 Looks good, nice wood. |

Probably an "S" and not a "5" in the SN. By the book that dates it to 1957 or 58. But a Model 28-2 would have been 1961 or later. Curious.

It's an N prefix gun. He posted a couple of threads in other forums. I think he may have found himself a very rare variation(I looked it up in the Standard Catalog) since it has a red ramp, but of course that could have been done after it left the factory. |

N prefix makes more sense. 1978.
Red ramp was made for New York State Police, in roughly that SN range. I would guess this is a contract over run. |

It is an N prefix. I am going to send for a factory letter on it. |

The NYSP guns started later in the serial range. 540xxx or thereabouts. |

Nice looking gun. I'd be interested to see what Roy said about the red ramp front sight.
I likes me some Model 28s.

Nice N frame....i just picked up a very nice 6" with a polished action.Never holstered, the guy had owned it 10 yrs.and never fired it.Shot very little for $375.
It is my 4th. 28, this one will not get away, they are shooters.

I have several revolvers, but my M28 is my favorite, hands-down.
Congrats!

I had one in the mid 80's and the one I had was indeed marked NYSP. I regret sselling many guns over the years but none as much as that one. Damn good find and at a decent price in todays looney S&W market. Congratulations!
