Default Tuned-up 65-1 Question

Hi All,
I recently picked up this 65-1 thinking it would be a fun range gun. The frame has been marked with an electric pencil touchmark, I'm guessing by the builder. Possibly C&S (Cylinder & Slide?), or maybe CWS. Also has a number in electric pencil, 71544.

Does anyone recognize any of this?

Shoots nicely. Very smooth DA, light SA pull. Gaps 0.003-inches and no perceptible end shake. Target hammer and trigger with a trigger stop.

No, I do not recognize the build, but I actually like it. Looks like it has a target hammer and maybe wide smooth trigger? Like I said, I like the looks of it.

3/8-inch smooth trigger with a stop. The stop is threaded-in from the back and the head was ground off.

Looks like a PPC competition revolver from about 40 or years ago. Probably shoots very well.

Serious duty gun or a side match gun. Either a great six shooter to own and to shoot. Probably shoots the lights out!

The LCD(?) in the yoke cut is probably a prior owners initials, not a builders mark.
