New to this but I need some HELP. I have a S&W Mod 66 that has been in my family for quite some time, the problem I have is history on the gun. It has two serial
Numbers. The official # on the bottom of the grip frame is 4K52046 but the number on the frame under the cylinder is FHP 1210 . The story I was told when I was young is that a small amount of these guns were made with a high polished frame to test with the Florida Highway Patrol and that after the trial time ended they were deemed to shiny so they were sold off and the FHP purchased the Mod 66 with a matte finish. So the question is what do I have other than a beautiful Mod 66 and a good story?? Thanks in advance for any info I can get!
