- Well nobody said it was a serial number, and yup the number on the frame under the yoke matches.
- I guess it's not coming through in the pics, but under glass you can clearly see the full profile of the halfmoon shape in the front sight. It's been added to, not subtracted from, unless you count the two or three serrations on the base continued from the addition. The taper in width from front to back is another matter, I don't know if that's original or if the gunsmith who did the mods was showing off.
- There I was going to give you credit for spotting the barrel was 0.008" short!
ETA: And sorry, the barrel measurement was 3.992".
