I believe the no dash were SB with checkered GA's. I like any .41 Mag!

Just checked. He has a 3" RB 657 but has not seen a 6" RB. He has 14 57's, 58's and 657's.
There is always the possibility it was re-barreled. I guess the only way to know is to letter it. Not sure why someone would do that (re-barrel a 3" to 6") but hey... people parkerize or duracoat stainless guns, so go figure...
