Manufactured in 1980. With included factory letter indicating this revolver as originally shipped with "Class C" engraving to Clearfield Hardware Co., Clearfield, PA on August 18, 1981. About 60% coverage floral scroll engraving on the frame, cylinder, and barrel. Includes original box. Historian Roy Jinks states in the letter it is his opinion that the well known female engraver, Denise therion, did the engraving for Smith & Wesson.

Excellent, retaining 98% plus original nickel finish with only minimal handling evidence and light cylinder drag line. The grips are very fine with a few minor handling marks and crazing of varnish. The box is very fine with minor wear. Mechanically excellent.
