My Bad. I meant to ask him if the front sight was pinned. Here are his answers and I think that shoots it in the head as having the value I need.

"Barrel, is 5.5 " long, front sight is soldered in, curf for front sight runs back into address,
"SMITH AND WESSON SPRINGFIELD MASS.USA PATD JAN 17 & 24, '65
AUG 24, '69, APR 20, '75, FEB 20 & DEC 18, '77, REISSUE JULY 25, 1871"

LOCK-UP IS GOOD AND BORE IS 7/10.
Name in grip panels is "Traves Million"
Serial number is 1066".

Seems to be buggered with cut barrel and carved on grips. What does all of that do to its value?
