That is actually an agency stamp; it stands for California Youth Authority. Lon and I bought ours from the same vendor at the same time.
His was in a lot better shape than mine...

So...on the way home from SHOT show I scored one I have been looking for a long time. Ruger GF33. Made only in the last year of "six" production where 3" Ruger Speed Six barrels were put into Police Service Six frames. I think these are some of the best looking Ruger DA revolvers ever made and total tanks. Plus...the price was like Smiths used to be. Enjoy..
Just a Hairy Special Snowflake supply clerk with no field experience, shooting an Asymetric carbine as a Try Hard. Snarky and easily butt hurt. Favorite animal is the Cape Buffalo....likely indicative of a personality disorder.

Good for you nyeti! I never knew Ruger made that model. Must be rare as I have never seen one. Like the wooden grips too. Enjoy that Ruger.
In the late 80's I worked for Ruger's west coast LE distributor and saw numerous 3" Speed Sixes come through and was stupid to not hoard them. The 3" on the Service Six is a great combo. I will likely now try to grab a 2 3/4" Speed Six as a companion as the smaller round butt frame with the slightly shorter barrel was always a very well balanced gun and I have a dear friend who did a ton of good work with one.

GOD DAMN IT.
I have been looking for one of those for ages. you weren't kidding about sharing vices.
A good many years ago, my old man decided that I needed a real S&W wheelgun. So he dug around and bequeathed to me his first off-duty carry piece, a 3" 66-3, along with his DeSantis leather. I still can't claim to be a wheelgun man, but this gun just fits and shoots like a house afire. Plus, there's a good bit of sentimental value in it
