That is just beautiful. It looks like a new gun. Must have spent it's entire life in someone's feather pillow under their head every nite!
And yes it's a perfect Improved I frame with round site example. But because it is an Improved I it can no longer be a transitional. It's been changed.
1. Transitional I frames: 6 screws
---- a) Pre war/post war parts
---- b) Pure post war parts
2. Improved I frames: 5 screws, coil main spring with round site and ramp site
3. Model of 1953 New I Frames; the pre models: 3 & 4 screws
4. Model numbered I frames: 3 screws
