Manufactured in 1956/57. The factory letter lists this revolver with 6 1/2 inch barrel, blue finish, and checkered Goncalo Alves grips when shipped to Brown Rodgers Dixon Co. in Winston Salem, North Carolina as a late 5-screw model. Matching serial number on the frame, cylinder, and butt. Includes a S&W .44 Magnum case, a screwdriver, and cleaning tools.

Excellent overall, retaining 97% plus original blue finish with scattered handling marks, muzzle wear, and a cylinder drag line. Grips are very fine with light handling marks and crisp grip checkering. Mechanically excellent. Case is very good with storage and handling marks.
