Default 686 2.5" no lock with factory porting?

Ran across this gun and I am not sure if they ever came with factory porting. There are 3 round porting holes on each side of the barrel. It has the box which indicates product code 104231. In my book, nothing is said about porting for this product number. Would appreciate any information you may have.
Thanks in advance,
fuzzy

That's the product code for a plane 2.5 inch gun. The porting holes are aftermarket.

Thanks Pete,
The holes looked familiar, but I could not remember if that meant factory porting or some aftermarket. It's a nice gun, but at $850 with aftermarket porting I am going to pass.
