Bought a beautiful nickel Mod 19-4 6 inch barrel a few years ago that was in a wooden presentation case. S/N 65kxxxx which puts its DOM around 1980. The presentation case had the cleaning rod, brush and mop included.
The thing that bothers me is that the gun seems too small for the opening and the 6 inch barrel seems too short for the opening in the liner of the box. I guess the liner openings could have been one size fits all, for different size guns. It seems like this box and liner may have been made for a N frame 6 1/2 inch gun. Was the nickel Model 19-4 ever sold with a wood presentation case. If not what kind of box would the Mod 19 have been sold with. I've added a few pictures to show the box and Mod 19 in it.
Thanks.
