I'll be 60 in 8 months, I don't look as good.
If you have a 5" or some other barrel length show us a picture.
The gun could have legally been shipped by Herbie Harris direct to a buyer in Alabama. That was in pre-1968 gun laws time and Harris usually ordered more than one at a time from S&W.

For me 5" barrels on S&W revolvers are perfect. I've been shooting 5" 625s and 627s in competition for about 30 yrs.
