Help ID a sweet 19-3
I FINALLY found what I've been looking for! It's a 2.5" model 19-3 and the serial number is 3k48063. What can you tell me about it?
Thank you

The SCSW says it's from around 1972-ish...

I can tell you, that you now own one of the finest all-around revolvers ever produced. I'm lucky enough to have two model 19's These are the last revolvers I would ever part with; this includes my model 27's and my pre-war 38/44 heavy duty.
enjoy that guy, take it out and shoot it as intended.

Yes it's blued and I've put about 400 rounds through it already...had a function issue that required those little "tabs" on the ejector to be smoothed out. I'll be carrying it on duty after I get leather made, I carry a 1947 Colt 38 Super and a 2013 Springfield 1911 TRP from the custom shop....once I get the ivory stocks on I'm sure it will garner plenty of stares!

Yes. It will look like this:
I personally think ivory looks great on a blued snubby. This is one of my favorite handguns. Enjoy yours!

Jack that is an awesome looking piece! I spoke with Paul Persinger in El Paso this morning and began planning for what I want done. Not going to be cheap for the real ivory but his work is great.
Who did yours?

Thank you. I like it a lot. I am very careful about who I allow to look inside my safe. But of those who get that privilege, most of them go right to this gun. Its beauty just leaps out at you! 
I'm sorry, but I just don't remember. [I really am getting old!]
