I have these 200th Year models:
Speed Six, blue, 4", .357 Mag
Service Six, SS, 2 3/4", .357 Mag
Security Six, SS, 2 3/4", .357 Mag
Security Six, SS, 4", .357 Mag
Security Six, SS, 6", .357 Mag
Speed Six, blue, 4", .357 Mag
Service Six, SS, 2 3/4", .357 Mag
Security Six, SS, 2 3/4", .357 Mag
Security Six, SS, 4", .357 Mag
Security Six, SS, 6", .357 Mag
It seems like I only have one, and it's a 4" SS Security Six 4" and interestingly enough has a Freemason logo on it, professionally done (which I am not) but it's the only one I've ever seen like that. Anyone else seen something like that?
I never really chased the Liberty models to collect them all, but instead went after the ones I considered rare/scarce/unusual (or whatever I stumbled onto 
).
For Service Sixes, I have the "GH-34" with the Machined heavy barrel (MB) that I posted in another thread discussing those few guns with the early heavy barrels and the weird muzzle crown on the blue (non-Liberty) version. The unusual "GH" catalog number designation ended up not being used long, instead reverting to the GF nomenclature with the H as a modifier after the caliber/barrel codes.
Also for Service Sixes, I have a GF-84 which is the same gun but in .38 Spl and with the standard barrel and normal catalog number.
Other Liberty "-Six" revolvers I have are:
RDA-82 (blue .38 Spl 2.75" Security Six, noted as the only one known)
GA-84 (stainless .38 Spl 4" Security Six factory second "S" gun, noted as the only one known)
GA-34 (stainless .357 Mag 4" Security Six)
GA-36 (stainless .357 Mag 6" Security Six)
SS-82 (blue .38 Spl 2.75" Speed Six)
GS-84 (stainless .38 Spl 4" Speed Six, noted as rare)
GS-34 (stainless .357 Mag 4" Speed Six)
SS-34 (blue .357 Mag 4" Speed Six)

I was doing some research and while perusing some old RCA Journals, I ran across a great article on the "Liberty" models of the Six series DAs. I wrote to the RCA and was given permission to reprint the article to send to people as long as I credit it to the RCA with the journal volume, number, and date. I have copied the article and I will be scanning it as soon as possible and can then email it to people who might want it. Turns out some of mine are pretty rare also.

My 1975 production .357 Service Six frame turned plum color decades ago. Son still owns it.
