Stainless sights were only done on the first year production guns (possibly the first two production years, not sure about the second year guns).

Collectors pay a bit more for this, because they are the first year production guns.

I have a model 66 (4") no dash, blued sights, pinned barrel and recessed chambers. An early gun (no dash) but not first year production.

And yes, the did drop the stainless sights because they were hard to see.
