28-2 serial number - Smith & Wesson Forum
Apr 2, 2019 · However,I have a model 29-2, S/N S2636XX, probably a little over a thousand less than your 28, which was shipped in April, 1965, so nothing is ever etched in stone with S&W. I think you'd be pretty safe assuming a ship date of later 1965 or early 1966, but the only way you'll ever know for sure is with a factory letter. Hope this helps, teesur.

Manufacture Date for Highway Patrolman - Smith & Wesson Forum
Sep 17, 2024 · A Model 28 will say "Highway Patrolman" on the right side of the barrel, along with an odd design and "357 CTG" The model number won't be on the barrel, but a gun with an N prefix is new enough that the model number will be stamped in the notch of the frame where the yoke pivots, (open the cylinder to see it).
Model 27 vs. Model 28 - Smith & Wesson Forum
Apr 25, 2010 · The Highway Patrolman-as it was called when it was introduced in 1954-was a "service" model, available only in 4 and 6 inch barrels, a plainer finish than the 357, no options.

S&W model 28 versus 28-2 - smith-wessonforum.com
Jul 13, 2018 · Clearly, there were fewer Model 28 HPs made than 28-2 revolvers. The latter was in production for 20 years, while the Model 28 lasted only from 1958 until 1961. On the flip side, the -2 can be thought of as a definite improvement over its predecessor, from a shooter's standpoint - primarily due to the changed threads.
