Manufactured from 1955-1956 with this example having an extremely rare 5 inch barrel. It features a serrated ramp front sight, adjustable notch rear sight, standard markings, 5-screw frame, serrated grip straps and checkered S&W medallion grips. Matching numbers are found on the butt, barrel and cylinder, and the right grip panel has the number "161432." The factory blue box is numbered to the gun and has an end label that has been factory altered to reflect the correct caliber and barrel length. Also includes the registration card and "Helpful Hints" pamphlet.

Excellent. The revolver retains 99% plus original blue finish showing a light cylinder drag line. The hammer and trigger retain nearly all of the original case colors. The grips are also excellent with sharp checkering. Mechanically excellent. The box is fine showing some wear.
