Included factory letter indicates this milestone revolver was shipped from the factory to S&W Employee Sales on September 26th, 1983, naming one S. Lysik on the sales invoice. This revolver, serial numbered as the 200,000th in the M-prefix series of revolvers, was originally shipped from the factory with a 4 inch barrel, checkered grips, and blue finish. In the factory letter, S&W historian Roy Jinks states it may have been upgraded to its current configuration by S. Lysik through the S&W factory. Both the barrel and cylinder have the factory "N" markings indicating the parts are factory nickel finished. The matching number end label is included, noting "**SPECIAL**" features and "Spec. Ord." number "M601". Also included is a set of cleaning tools and a factory box.
