Post-War, LA, One-line, M&P Snub? SWHF Update
SWHF update down in post #20.
Got my second post-war long action 38 in as many weeks the other day. I knew there was a star on the butt from the pictures but figured I'd give it a shot.
Great blueing with a couple spots of wear, nearly no turn line, dirty with lint, super tight, great action, timing spot on, matching frame/cylinder/yoke/ejector/stocks...not barrel.
This went back to the factory in Feb 1950, where I'm guessing the barrel was replaced? The blueing is slightly off from the frame. The question is, did the factory mis-stamp the serial on the barrel or did some lucky previous owner happen to find a barrel that was exactly 11,000 off? The barrel pin is a bit buggered on the right side.
I may just have to letter this one.
