A “Model-less” Model 19

I came across this Model 19 Combat Magnum at the gun shop today. Serial number should date to 1967 or so as per the SCSW.
It was owned by an older gentleman who was surrendering his NYS Pistol License (medical issues) and selling his guns- he sold this one to a customer for $500 including the original box/papers and ammunition and a holster.
Someone at the Factory forgot to stamp the model number- either had a hot date on a Friday afternoon or a tough Monday morning after a long weekend!

Factory model stamping rules:

1, Apply stamping. Pass.
2. Ensure stamping is fully visible. Fail.

No stamp?...Pack and ship anyway...Someone will buy it...

But they met their production quota for the day.

I'd take that one any day without a model #. A steal at that price and in that condition with all the extras. At the right place at exactly the right time-that one would not last a day in my area after they put it out for sale. Is that a target trigger and a target hammer? If so, even better? Great find. Thanks for showing.

Yes, TH/TT on that pistol.
The guy that bought it could not resist a great deal. It’s in great condition for a 55 and over gun.
