[QUOTE="shooterdc9, post: 944230, member: 1050"] God, you guys are a wealth of knowledge, I mean it. Well with all this information you've giving me I went to my stash and dug it out. Yes it is a model 57. The [FONT="Times New Roman"][SIZE="3"][COLOR="Red"]S/N is: N806329 Mod 57[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] stamped right into the gun. So, there ya go everyone. Now what do you think this might be worth? Part of the history which I am aware of is that I bought it from a Texas Highway Patrolman. This was his handgun while he was on the force. I believe he still has another one. I have a friend who says this is the predominant handgun of the Texas ranchers and farmers which they kept in the glove baox of their pickup trucks. I have no doubt that this is a true statement. Oh, BTW, another reason I don't shoot it much is that the ammo has gone up in price quite a bit since I bought it. Thanks all.
