?? Historical Significance: \"FHP 1227\" Marking
\"FHP\" stands for Florida Highway Patrol, and the number 1227 is most likely an individual inventory or officer assignment number.
Issued during the 1970s, this revolver was part of the FHP’s official duty sidearm inventory.
In the 1970s, the Model 66 — a stainless version of the Model 19 — became increasingly popular among law enforcement for its resistance to corrosion, especially in humid climates like Florida.
?? Key Features of the Model 66:
K-frame Magnum Revolver: Known for balancing shootability and power.
Stainless Steel: Introduced in 1970, the Model 66 was S&W’s first stainless .357 Magnum revolver.
Reputation: Trusted by law enforcement nationwide, the 66 gained fame for its accuracy, controllability, and durability.
?? Collector Value Notes:
Law Enforcement Marked Models (especially with FHP or other agency stamps) are highly collectible, especially if:
The marking is clear and original
The gun retains its matching serial number, original finish, and grips
Accompanied by a duty holster, paperwork, or provenance
Being a pre-MIM, pre-lock revolver from the 1970s, this example is built during the peak quality era of S&W revolvers.
? Summary
Your Smith & Wesson Model 66 marked FHP 1227 is a historically significant law enforcement revolver, issued to the Florida Highway Patrol in the 1970s.
