Default 1956 Pre 25 W Main Spring And Neat Story on Stocks

1956 Pre Model 25. W Main Spring. Non Relieved Diamond Target Stocks. Stocks are numbered to a super early 44 Magnum that is owned by SWCA Member Jim Hill.

As they were trying to get the first 44 Magnums out they were made on pre 25 frames. At that time they had numbered Non Relieved Diamond Targets. At the beginning of shipment of the first 44's they decided to switch to Coke Targets. This revolver has numbered stocks to a 44 Magnum owned by Jim Hill. A very early model to boot. Anyways the SWCA consensus is these stocks are indeed original to this gun. As S&W didn't throw anything away.
