Mike, that 2" nickel gun is a beaut!
A couple years ago I posted about a pre-Model 19, serial # K260,006, the sixth one manufactured. I had the box at one time and saw the gun, but never owned it. It was owned by the former Adjutant General of the NC National Guard and he acquired it at the Camp Perry Matches in 1956-1957. It is "open on the books" according to Mr. Jinks. It was probably a gift to the General from the S&W rep at the matches.
