Default 6.5" 45 model of 1955 (pre 25-2)
Bought this one off GB. Had vintage target grips that USPS managed to break. I had a set of non relief targets that go well with it.

1956 6.5" S&W 45 Model of 1955 Target (pre 25-2) engraved Gene Henslee. Henslee was a rockabilly star in the 50's and 60's.

Very nice. I have had 3 guns come usps with damage to the sights. In all cases it was lousy packing by the seller or his FFL
