Yes, it has a McGivern gold bead front sight - would it be anything else??? 6 1/2" bbl.
The RM certificate is in the tube. I added a scan of the original order to S&W to the original post. Thought it might be interesting....
Walter and Peggy Groff were some of Ed McGivern's best friends for over 25 years. Walter was Ed's understudy, friend and sometimes benefactor. Walter Groff is prominent in Ed's book in both the text and photos.
Glad you enjoyed the pics....
