Appears to be a factory re-barrel and refinish in black oxide. No US property markings on top strap, "P" stamped on left side rear just below the top strap, crossed swords with two small numbers also on left side just above the front of the trigger housing. Grip frame is stamped "R-SB 11 80". Barrel is a tapered 4" Model 10 with ramped and serrated front sight, underside is stamped with matching serial number and diamond. Grips are magnas, no serial number. It's a nice little rework that appears unfired since refurb. Looking for insight/speculation about what it was and an how it came to be in current state.
Was this an unshipped BSR converted to .38 Special for domestic use? Was there a mass return/refurb if LE firearms in 1980? How much is this oddity worth?
