I took me 25 years to do it, and much more money, but I finally assembled a set of NIB unfired examples.
The 4" took the longest, I paid alot for it but would have doubled the cost to get it to complete this set.
Congratulations on getting something so rare for modern standards, enjoy shooting it. I never will shoot mine now that it is in hand.
Total cost on this set of 3, the 4", 6.5" and the '85 release 3" was $1700. I feel confident I could double my money on it if I were inclined to sell, which will never happen. I don't have another 25 years.
Some of you may have seen this before, to those i apologize, but here they are again.
Enjoy that 4", you got a good catch there.

I would like a Lew Horton since I have the other two but they are hard to find in Ca.
Both my 24-3's came with football target grips. Your 4" grips must be original but i didn't know those came on these guns. Here's my .44 Specials. The bottom pic is a John Gren conversion in .44 Special black powder only.
