The distributer I worked for got some of those in in the very early 80’s (I left in 82) and we were told that NYSP backed out of the original quantity so the remainder went out for sale. I didn’t get a chance to make a spot in the warehouse for them as they were quickly snatched up by gun shop owners speculating as to future worth. Nice find! The one or two I saw unboxed were exceptionally nice guns.
A "grail" find. Model 24 I found online and could trade for
