Looking at a 4 inch model 18-3 with TH/TT serial # 13K50 XX. Could anyone possibly give me an idea of year of manufacture please? Thanks for any responses.

The Scriptures speak of all things being confirmed by two or three witnesses . . . so I guess you are good to go! Two witnesses in one minute!!!

I actually was inquiring for a friend who own's a small gun shop that just got this one in. It's kind of interesting as it appears to have been fired very little and is nice and tight, but it has been re-blued and it looks like it has had light pitting and now wears a dull matt blue finish. I think it would be a great shooting revolver but cosmetically it has issues.
