The included factory letter lists this revolver as having a 5 inch barrel, blue finish, and checkered walnut magna grips when shipped to Decker Brothers in Mason City, Iowa on August 23, 1946. Matching serial numbers on butt, right grip panel, cylinder, and ejector shroud. Includes a correct S&W model gold box (no visible numbers).

Excellent, retaining 97% plus original blue finish with some minor muzzle wear, a few dings behind the hammer and a cylinder drag line. Nearly all original case colors remain on hammer and trigger. Grips are also excellent with a small ding near the bottom (left panel) and overall crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. Box is very fine with storage and handling marks.
