Nice Model 49.!

Just an FYI to the Op and others, the original Bodyguard was actually an "Airweight" that came out in 1956. The pre- Model 38 as some would call it. The Model 49, on an all steel frame, post dated the Bodyguard Airweight by 3 years. It was not produced until 1959 as a model numbered gun. In the J frame series of guns this was the 1st "Airweight" to be produced prior to the introduction of the steel version.
The Chief Special preceded the Chief Special Airweight as did the Centennial precede the Centennial Airweight. Albeit by only a year or 2.
