Thanks for the education guys. I made the trip all the way back down to Fort Walton Beach yesterday and the gun was still there. However, upon close inspection it turned out to be a little rougher then I expected; some enshake, looked kind of beat up along one side of the yoke where barrel joins the frame, and a few rust spots. It was a 19-4 not a -3 as first told to me by the owner and no origional grips. It was a gun the was shot a lot but no holster wear in the usual places. I made an offer of $400 but he was firm at $425; decided to stick with my quest for the old N frames.
