    The S&W Highway Patrolman is a utilitarian version of the "N" frame Model 27. It carries the designation "Model 28" in post-mid-50s number sequence. It was/is offered in two barrel lengths, 4" and 6". It does not have the high polish finish of the M-27 or the fine checkering on the top strap and barrel rib. They are strong reliable pistols. I believe the "S" serial series was earlier in the production life of the model later versions would carry the "N" prefix. They were furnished with the S&W Magna grips, someone has put "N" frame target grips on yours.

    $450-$500 for a quick sale.
    $600-$700 if you just want to wait out for someone who is willing to fork over that $ for a Model 28 with the wrong stocks. The Model 28 is a good gun, just not as sought after as the Model 27.

    That serial number makes it 1954 -1955.First year production for the Highway patrolman was 1954 with around 8400 Made think yours is a early 1955. Target stocks were a option yours are not the correct ones

    The Highway Patrolman Model 28 has a good following these days. Probably because the .357 Magnum Model 27 has gotten so expensive.

    A "pre 28" will draw a good deal of interest even with off brand stocks. Good luck.

    Being a '5 screw', it will get attention no matter which model.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but "diamond service stocks" would be the factory issue on this, yes?

    I've decided not to get rid of it.
    I've never had a 5 screw and the action
    is very smooth
