I have one I got in 1965. SN 369, that's right 3 digits. They must have gone all out on the first batch because it is a very good weapon. 2" barrel, blue. I bought it because its sights were far better than the S&W snubs of the day.
I have fired just about everything through it, including Super Vels, which were real +Ps, but not so designated. It is still chugging along, and is the most accurate snub I have ever owned. Also got a pair of the "bulldog" grips which make handling much better. Don't pack it any more because I don't want to ruin whats left of the finish, but it sits loaded under my desk in my home office. Still got the box too.
