One of a reported 2,768 S&W manufactured circa 1950-1961, with this example manufactured circa 1955. The revolver is fitted with Patridge front and micrometer click rear sights and non-matching checkered Magna grips. Matching serial numbers appear on the butt, cylinder, and ejector shroud. The correct period S&W maroon box is numbered to a different gun.

Excellent, retaining 98% plus original blue finish with slight muzzle and edge wear, limited handling marks, and a light cylinder drag line. 99% plus original case colors remain on the hammer and trigger. The undersize replacement grips are very fine with a few dings on the bottom and overall crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. The box is very fine.
