I found something interesting today.
Pre-34, four screw, 2 1/2" barrel, RB, flat latch, 272XX serial number. Not sure if it's an I frame or not. Looks near new. Now I know they cut the four screw to three around serial number 11K on the 34's. Anyway, trying to pin this one down as it shouldn't even exist with the four screw configuration and 5 digit serial.
Does have incorrect later pattern grips though. If someone has some J diamonds that look nice I'll buy them.

Any information would be appreciated.
