FEC marked model 64 Smith and Wesson

[Darreld Walton]

I would hazard a guess of Federal Energy Commission? Or maybe Federal Education Commission. Federal Enforcement Commission? (They are here to help us!!!) Federal Exchange Commission maybe? No none of these but I think you have it with the Federal Election Commission. They are here to deliver the votes.

Dad was a Captain of the security force at the Idaho National Laboratory, started right after he got back from Korea, late 52-early 53. Back then, they had model 10's, they retired those, and gave 'em all 4" Model 66's. If any of the earlier guns were marked, they'd have been "AEC", or "USAEC" for the US Atomic Energy Commission, and the late guns, if marked, would've been Department of Energy, or "DOE". After the M66's, the federal civil service security force was phased out, and contractors took over the security.

Thanks for the info, I’ve had a chance to run the gun some. Shoots straight, recoil non existent. My speed reloads need some practice, as I’m rusty.
