Joe--

The serial number of the .44 that was in the case is S-1713xx, non-model-marked 4-screw, but I have no way of knowing if it was the original inhabitant!

It is indeed formed for a 6 1/2" gun, although the foam is "stepped" to accomodate a 6" barrel, so does that possibly rule out a M57?

The corners are frayed and the case has some sticky stuff on the outside here and there, but the inside is satin-covered styrofoam.

Any idea of the value?

Thanks, guys.

Tim
