Not knowing for sure if Smith ever built some with this feature, I was about ready to decide the gun was a make-over. I actually wound-up buying the gun, box and papers for a very good price.

Mine has the forged (non stainless) hammer and trigger. Do you think I am "good-to-go". I do know the stocks have been changed and the SN is 4785XX.
the early model 60's came with Case Colored hammer and trigger...Your gun dates prior to 1969.

The SCSW states serial number range 475001 to 480000 are usually seen with bright finish and case colored hammer and trigger
