Matching numbers on the butt, right grip panel, ejector shroud, and cylinder. Comes with a period correct unnumbered Outdoorsman box.

Rating Definition:

Excellent, retaining 95% plus original blue finish showing some loss at the muzzle, some speckling of gray and handling evidence, and a cylinder drag line. Nearly all original case colors remain on the hammer and trigger. The grips are excellent showing some minor handling evidence and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. The faded box is good with staining and wear throughout.
