The second is a 6 1/2 inch RM with factory letter stating it was sent back to the factory for King Sights, has "Star" on butt. Currently has after market faux ivory grips. Have a pair of 44 frame prewars somewhere in a box?
Tabs:

You are a lucky man to have 2. Very nice, especially the 8.75" in that beautiful box. I would love to hear a little bit more about them (REG number range, SN range, front and rear sight config, etc...) and maybe a few more photos...


Thanks,
