Manufactured in 1956. Matching serial numbers on the butt, ejector shroud, cylinder, and right grip panel. The S&W gold box is numbered to the gun.

Excellent, retaining 98% original blue finish with an area of brown speckling (right side of the frame) and a light cylinder drag line. 99% plus original case color remain on the hammer and trigger. The grips are also excellent with crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. The box is very fine showing some scattered minor wear.
