That 68 is a beauty. The grips are especially nice. Maybe closer photos of the markings for we of the old eyes persuasion? Smile

Per SWSC 3rd edition:
The S&W 68 was basically a 66 chambered in 38 only. There were about 6055 made.

Revisions made were
68
68-1 (not verified)
68-2

Personally I would love to have oneSmile

The model 68 was originally made for California Highway Patrol. L.A.P.D. allowed officers to purchase and carry model 68s after they had been fixed to fire double action only.
Most sold to California Highway Patrol.
The gun I showed above had been fixed and carried.'
