Manufactured in 1969-1971. Standard markings and features along with "RE" and "31" both inside circles under the left grip panel (the circled "31" also appears on the crane). The cylinder is marked "N" and "284" indicating nickel finish and the barrel is marked "N" on the flat and finished in nickel like the cylinder. The frame with its original blue finish give this revolver the two-tone "pinto" effect. Includes an unnumbered Smith & Wesson box used for storage of this gun only.

Very fine, retains 99% original blue finish with some light handling marks, some frost on the barrel, and a light cylinder drag line. The smooth grips are excellent with a few light handling marks. A great Model 51 pinto .22 Magnum!
