Hello all
This is my first post. Can't say enough about the Firing Line forum. A great place with lots of ideas and opinions.
One of the guns I inherited form my dad is a S&W N frame357 Highway Patrolman Mod. 28-2 serial No. N74XX . At one time my dad had two of these guns one he bought in the late 1960s & the other in the mid 70s. I have 2-questions concerning this piece:
1.) Which do I have the 60s or the 70s gun.
2.) There is some ware and tear around the inspection plate. If I were to have this gun refinished would you recommend the factory or a private gunsmith.
Thanks
