S&W 64-2 Questions....

My local gun shop just bought 150 police trade in S&W 64-2 .38specials. They were bought from the California Department of Corrections and seem to be in good shape. Each serial number starts with CDCXXXX (Calif. Dept. of Corrections). All parts are original, including the wooden grips with the S&W medallion (logo). I test fired a few and they seem to work well. There are a lot of nicks and dings on the butt of the gun as well as the wooden grips, but other than that, they seem fine. Oh, they are stainless steel as well, not blued.

Can anyone give me some history on these pistols? Were there any recalls on parts I should know about. I have never bought a wheel gun used, so are there any funcitions I should look for (ex. fouling, wear marks.....) Also, they are asking $250 each. Is there anything I should specifically look for?

These wheel guns balance very well and might be a good beater gun to keep in the car. What do you guys think. Thanks.

Somebody else will pop up with the Jim March checkout. I think $250.00 is $51.00 too high. They polish up just fine being stainless. K frame aftermarket grips fit fine. Pachmayrs are my favourites. They are +P rated.
