Very nice. I have one from about the same era.
Does it have a Registered Magnum checkered barrel rib?

Kris, whats not to like about this one! One line address, deep case coloring on the early hammer, ejector rod knob and 6 groove straps. The only thing missing is one like this in my stable. As you must know, they have escalated in price in the last few years. But the bigger problem than the price is even finding one. It's on my list and as they say, the hunt is part of the fun. Great gun!

Sadly, no RM barrel. I had high hopes due to the serial number being close to others with RM barrels.

Congrats on your find and glad you're enjoying it. I must say that's about the widest turn line I've ever seen. Have a look at the cylinder stop?

I like it. I like it a lot.
Your stocks are wierding me out though man. Something about the big pre-war N frame medallions in beautiful target stocks. My brain is having a hard time reconciling these things.
They are beautiful though.

Would you feel better or worse if he threw the Ropers on ?

More jealous to be sure.
Better? Worse? Hard to say.
I think a Transitional deserves Sandersons. In my messed up brain the proper post war target stocks are Sanderson. It's not entirely logical, but that's how the ol' noodle insists things be.

A terrific score. Congratulations.
The transitional OD is more often than not the model that first comes to mind when someone asks me to name my favorite N-frame. Prewar long action, postwar ribbed barrel and big easy-to-adjust sights. Next to no recoil with standard or wadcutter ammo. That is the basic prescription for shooting pleasure.
