All very nice revolvers. The case colors on the hammer of the 4" are downright striking (no pun intended).

Nice! Are they marked with the capital B on the frame, crane and barrel? I have a Combat Masterpiece in the K137,xxx range that is bright and has the B.

I just have to ask - did the packages come with the vapor paper, Helpful Hints, warranty cards, tools (obviously no SAT), etc...?

No but relatively close... They were all ordered together for Robert Petersen as a special factory order.

Maybe I am not sure now that i think about... There are labels on the bottom of boxes I assumed are part of inventory but they could be factory... I will take another look...

Very nice bigl, I can only drool over these beauties.
I'm curious, are they late S or early C prefix? Any explanation why the 4" & 6" have the half moon front sight and the 2" & 5" do not?

That is a ridiculously awesome collection. Were they hermetically sealed up for the past 60 years? Flawless.

C prefix 1953 order and I believe delivered in one order.. I am still researching.. From what I understand the front sight could be order in different configurations at no charge.. Assuming this was the case when these were ordered..
