Pre 29 five screw, four inch (letter arrived today 12-22-14)
I wasn't really looking for one of these but can't pass on a deal. Saw some not so good pictures of it but knew the dealer was a standup guy so I took a chance. Serial number S 153627 may be late 1956 or early 1957.
All numbers match. I'll request a letter next week.
I had the box from another gun that's been evicted.

Beautiful revolver! It certainly would be a great partner with my Pre 29, 5-screw. Where did you "happen" to come across this?

That gun deserves a 10x LIKE - where is that button?
Congrats on a fine revolver - I want one of those pretty bad! I may end up trading my children to get one!

I found it on one of the auction sites with fuzzy pictures and aftermarket grips. Took a chance.

Very nice. I think I just bought the evicted gun on Gunbroker. This one looks like a nice upgrade.
