Hi,
can I get some help identifying this revolver? We looked in the books at the local gun shop and couldn't nail it down....
nickel plated
hand ejector
serial #125xx
22 long rifle
4" barrel, 1 1/4" cylinder
adjustable rear sight
4 side screws, none on guard
it doesn't have a mod # on yoke.
thanks,
Anewell

Welcome to the forum!
It's a "Model of 1953 .22/32 Kit Gun" from before Model #s were introduced in mid-1957. It became the Model 34 and is referred to as a Pre Model 34. It's built on the 1953 New I frame with 4 screws and then 3 screws after 1956.
Based on the serial #125XX, it was shipped ~April or May of 1955.

Welcome to the forum.
Jim has nailed down the model and ship date for you very well. From what I see, its a non-factory refinish in nickel, since S&W never plated the hammer or trigger.
Hope this helps a little....

The trigger doesn't look nickel. The hammer has too much light on it to tell for sure.
Is there an N stamped under the stock on the left side of the grip frame near the heel of the butt?

Did you also notice the rear sight appears to be satin nickel?
