Default ? Model 13

I have a model 13 round butt 3 screw 357 mag. Can't remember how long I've owned, sometime in the 80's or early 90's.
It is a 3" ported barrel and bobbed hammer. The only #'s I found on the yoke is X5X14 and above that G22, serial # ANC08XX
Any info would be appreciated.
Sorry for bad pictures

I am not finding any notations on ANC prefix. Triple letter prefix was done between about 1980 and 1983.

Whoever slicked that up knew what they were doing. Edges on face of trigger are smoothed up too. Maybe a Magnaport. Grips are Heretts or close copies.

ANC does not show up in the published lists. However, ANA, ANB and ANF all show up in 1986. Good chance yours is of that approximate vintage.

That is likely to make it a Model 13-3.

Look under the grips on the butt for SN.

ANO is still 1986 or 1987. So, still a 13-3.

I believe you are missing a digit there. Unless I'm mistaken, the three alpha serials all have four numeric digits.

Looked at your first pictures again. The barrel isn't pinned nor are the cylinder charge holes counter-bored. So, 13-3 is almost certainly the model (although on this evidence alone, it could be later).
