Paid a very reasonable $340 for it and could not be happier.
Do not know if this is an I frame or improved I frame as it has the coil mainspring, but also the trigger gaurd screw. All screws look untouched, needs minor cleaning.
Will post pic's tomorrow evening, dog tired right now.
Oh yeah, S/N is 5924xx. I'm guessing 1950/51 but will letter this one.

Very nice find and great price for the description you gave! Can't wait to see it.

You gave just the right information for me to know that you have an I frame, 1st Improvement. Reg Police if square butt, 1903 Hand Ejector if Rd Butt. Go to my description, category 3 on page two of this thread to see what other characteristics it has. I think you're very close on the date which puts it in the period where it might have plastic or steel medallions in the grips. Check with a magnet for steel. Look on back of grip and it will be obvious if plastic.
