Thanks for the date and clarification. I think I will follow up on the the gun. It is on my accumulation list and at what I think is a reasonable asking price of 800 bucks.

If I had a factory original 5" inch 25-2 from the 60's that you wanted, that SAA would barely scratch the surface as trade bait. I'm pretty sure there was no such animal.

In the post-war era (1950 and later), the N-frame models cataloged with a 5-inch barrel were the 38/44 Heavy Duty and the 44 Military Model of 1950. However, the only N-frame model with adjustable sights cataloged with a 5-inch barrel was the "357" Magnum. The 44 Magnum had 300-400 made with a 5-inch barrel and the 1950/1955 Targets a very few.
