I had one of the Model 19-2s with an 8 3/8-inch barrel. It came out of the Wayne Betz collection after his untimely death. The 19-2 had a bright blue finish. The barrel was from a Model 53 that had been bored out to .357 caliber and roll marked appropriately on the right side. The revolver lettered as a 19-2 with a 6-inch barrel with the added stated this model was not offered with an 8 3/8-inch barrel (but it should have been!!!!!!!!!!).
