Are you sure it's not a 681. The model 68 was a 6" M66 made for the CA Highway patrol in 38 spl.

Is it fixed sights?

Looking at it now, it says 68-1, the paperwork from purchase says the same.

maybe its this from the spec...being the fixed sight and barrel length and the calibre.

has to be a 681.
the book says a m68 has adjustable sights, but more importantly the 68-1 has been reported, but none have ever been seen. also as stated it was only available as a 38spl with a 6" barrel. they were marked "CHP" on the left side, after being sold it was over stamped "OHB".

i bet your piece has a full length underlug on the barrel?

eta:
the authors of the book have reported seeing a model 681 being stamped "Mod 68-1".

I agree.

the book says a m68 has adjustable sights, but more importantly the 68-1 has been reported, but none have ever been seen.

If you Google S&W model 68 there are some in private hands with photos.

Kinggreene, thats exactly what mine looks like, except for the grips, full lug, where the model # is , it also has an M above it,from all i could find today the m means it was modify'd by s&w, thanks for the help.
