No offense, but I think you just bought a rebarreled one. If you go on the classified section under the member 41steve I am pretty sure it is his, and several people including me told him we thought it was a rebarreled 3 inch. If it is him, that is pretty bad on his part trying to scam another member unless he can prove getting a letter from SMith and Wesson that it is legit, but he mentioned he did not want to do that.
