I bought the gun quite a few yrs. back as one in a group/package/clump of guns at a Rock Island Auction. The gun has truly been rode hard, put away wet, refinished 1944 at S&W and possibly additional refins along its life. At one time the gun appears to have been smoothed by a surface grinder. Very little finish remains. The registration number is 5074.

I bought it for sentimental reasons and to rescue it from further abuse. I was considering having it restored by David Chicoine when that entity dissolved. I must take it to the range sometime to see how it shoots.
