Picked up a NIB 25-5, sn N679681, that the SCSW dates about 1980. The price didn't make me as nervous as buying a revolver that was still in the sealed carton - from 1980. The seller assured me that he would take it back if it was a rusted hunk of junk. Well, it wasn't, but it does have a flaw. On the frame opposite the yoke cut there is a minor finish flaw. Also strange is the area on the carton label showing "special features" has been cut out. Inside, the plain blue box has a tear, but that's to be expected I guess. The $64K question is: Did S&W sell guns with factory flaws, or blems, and is this one of them? Your thoughts and expert opinions are welcome.
