Yes, it's a Perfected Model and the 6 inch barrel is uncommon. Judging from the photo, I don't see any evidence a refinish is needed. I'd say it's a 98% gun now and probably in the top 5% of surviving Perfecteds. A little S&W trivia: When this model was being introduced, S&W purchased the boxes from a vendor, who misspelled the model name as " Perfect" on the box labels. The factory, not wanting to waste anything with S&W's name on it, used the boxes anyway, until the next box order could correct the error. Ed.
