I picked up this 66-1 at my LGS today. The lady they bought it from told them it was her Dad's service revolver. It was pretty cool, the price was right so I bought it. It is in really good condition with a few bumps and bruises you would expect years of carry.
When I got it home I took the old worn Pachmayr grips off and found the letters MHP stamped on the left side of the frame. (See the picture below) I figure it has to stand for either Michigan, Mississippi, or Montana Highway Patrol. Anybody know?
The coolness factor just kicked up a notch ...
