I spoke to the the gun shop owner about this 36-1 & he told me that the rear sight, although a Smith & Wesson Part, was a not factory installation for this particular model. The grips are correct, but not original. I also question the wide hammer spur & blued hammer, since, as I recall the hammers should be just case colored.

The action locks up tight & my only other concern is the front sight, which a pin punch & replacement blade will fix.

Later today or sometime tomorrow, I'll drop it all off at a factory schooled Smith, for reblue.

It's the design I've always thought I wanted for a kit or trail revolver, although it will most likely spend most of the time punching paper.
