Friend of mine's grandfather had this. Providence is unknown. It is a 2" barrel in nickel.

I know there were a few (very few) manufactured with the 2" barrel but unaware of any finished in nickel other than the post war "SV" serial models.

Debating on getting it lettered but wanted to see what others had to say.

I'll get more pictures and will have a chance to look at in person on Sunday. Not sure if someone shortened the barrel on this one or if it is an original 2" barrel model that someone refinished.



Serial number placement was unexpected. I'm used to seeing them on the grip but all numbers match. Serial number is V581528.
