Hmmm, sorry to say that there are too many things in your description of the piece that just don't line up for me. I'm not calling anyone a liar, but I'd need some real, verifiable documentation on this piece before paying anywhere near a premium price for it. One of the first rules of buying a used firearm is to buy the gun, not the story behind it.

If this was a presentation piece, I would think a Model 57 would have been more appropriate than the more utilitarian Model 58. I just cannot see how this piece was ever a duty weapon.

I've always wanted to dip my toe in the .41 Magnum waters, but have never been able to find an affordable revolver in that flavor. If offered the Model 58 you describe, it would have to be really cheap to tempt me. Handguns of that type just aren't my cup of tea.

I would urge caution, and get verifiable proof of what the seller is telling you.

Good luck,

Dave
