Sixgun,

You have obtained a beautiful example of a Model of 1953 Four Screw. I would just fit the stocks to the gun and be happy. They are correct albeit not the original due to the lack of serial # matching your gun.

You have also stumbled into a confusing era of evolution of this model.

If you go to post #7 on the 1st page of this thread, refer to category #3 in the outline and then to #3 "Model of 1953 I Frames; the ‘pre-models’ 4 screw and 3 screw models:" in the detailed text of the 2nd paragraph, the nuances of the grip frame size and other details of your gun are explained.
