Nice looking 25. From your serial #, this gun was manufactured '80-'82. If you take the grips off, you may find a date stamped inside one of the panels. The grips look to have excellent figure in the wood and appear to be in very nice condition. Go to Ebay or Gunbroker: Do a search for N frame grips. You will be pleasantly surprised to see what those square butt N-frame smooth combat grips are going for. That was probably around a $350 gun retail when new. That gun was a nice find...........but I suspect that you know that.........you are simply messing with the rest of us...........right???!!!!
