The S&W logo is clearly visible on the left side of the gun. It was never on the sideplate.

You can always put a little work into an old revolver and make it look better as long as it still lock up tight and the price was right you can't go wrong. Now me it another story i can't polish out the signs of age and use on myself.

Well I picked up my CDNN 66 on Friday. I'm not too pleased.
I ordered a 66-3 in very good condition. I recieved a 66-2 that is all beat to hell, but labeled "very good", on the box
. It didn't carry up on two cylinders, and someone who obviously knew not a lot about refinishing stainless, screwed this revolver up badly. The ejector rod wobbled like an exotic dancer, and there were dremel marks on the cylinder and frame. It had wood grips that I've not seen before, and were ill fitting.
After several hours with Scotchbrite pads and Mothers Mag polish on Saturday, and about $125 worth of parts, I got the 66-2 looking ok, and functioning properly. I shot it Sunday, and it shoots like a laser. I'll probably take it to the Greensboro gunshow, and try to get my money out of it, or trade it for a 66-3, or 66-4.
Needless to say, I don't intend to purchase another revolver from CDNN. YMMV.

Ex-cop guns often look like Hell. Knowing this, the CDNN prices might be a tad high.
The last two cop guns I bought were a Model 569 from the Atlanta PD and a 2" Model 64 from the Corpus Christi PD. Both were scarred and nicked but both cleaned up to about 95% with some polishing. That's the good thing about stainless.

No before shot, but the 659 was horrible looking when it arrived and cleaned up pretty nicely:
