Default My First Double Action

This model 63 is my first Double Action in 22. I have a crew of single action 22's mostly Single Sixes, but this is my first double action. Just thought I would share a picture of the gorgeous little piece of stainless. I also happened to find a decent piece of nicely broken in vintage Bianchi leather that has been in the holster drawer just waiting to keep this one snuggled up.

Can anyone please date it for me, the serial # is ALB45XX

If anyone happens to have a correct box and papers, please PM me with details.

See if anyone can spot the flaw in the photo?

:RE:REIt will be very difficult for these bullets to enter the cylinder of your model 63.

Boy you guys are quick. It was too far from the office to the man cave so I borrowed what was close by from the desk revolver. Then I dug a few actual odd ball 22's out of the other desk drawer and took another. Guess I should have made the journey and opened a box of shiny new stingers for a classy photo.

The ALB prefix dates to late 1985.

That’s a little sweetie
I’ve been shooting a new 3” 8 shooter quite a bit lately and recently picked up a cherry 4” dash 3. What a difference in the action of the 6 shot guns, like night and day. That guns going to put a big smile on your face every time you reload it.

Thanks for the date info.

As far as I know these are just regular factory grips.
