The NYPD authorized the Service Six in .38 Special only. In 1987, they went to a stainless DAO version, and there was a star stamped on the inside of the crane as an inspection mark, which identified it as an NYPD gun.
But before they went to the stainless DAO, the blued Six with a spurred hammer was authorized. Anybody know if those were marked liked the stainless ones were?
I have a blued Service Six on the way. It's .38 Special and I'm buying it from a dealer on Long Island, NY. Lots of NYPD cops there and the owner said he bought it from a retired cop. There were no other agencies who authorized those guns and the serial number dates it to early 1987, right before the switch to DAO in July 1987, so this revolver would have been part of the last class in the academy to get the blued guns.
I would like confirmation so if anybody knows if the blued guns were marked I'd like to know. Thanks.
