My local gun shop has had this gun on consignment for a couple months for $600. I thought that was to high.
Yesterday I walked in and they had it at $470 so I bought it.......
I don't know how that compares to anywhere else in the world, but it was worth it to me.
SN is 150-82698 . I have read that beginning in the high 150 prefix is when the grip frame changed.
Anyone have any idea about what SN that change took place?
I do not "own" these guns, I am but the next caretaker
The change in the grip frame (low back to high back) happened in the high 150- low 151- prefixed serial numbers. Myself and a few other Six series collectors have both 150- s/n's with the high back frame and 151- s/n's with the low back frame so there isn't a definitive serial number where they actually changed.
I have s/n 150-94411 that has a high back frame and s/n 151-09505 that has a low back frame.
Oh, almost forgot, Welcome to ROCS, I think you'll find a lot of great info and people here.
Basically 1970 through 1974. The 151- serial numbers started in 1974 and as found, in that time frame is when you would find 150- high backs and 151- low backs. Also, you will find that the early fixed sight guns (through about 1973) were all marked "Security Six" not Service Six or Police Service SIx.
I'm having a hard time seeing the difference in them looking back and forth through the photos. Can one of you please compare and contrast the two and help educate me?
