Hi... Just added a Model 29 no dash to the herd. It's a 6 1/2 inch 4-screw model. Well worn with significant muzzle bluing loss, but action tight, trigger crisp. Expect to replace grips soon.
The serial number has me a little confused. S221894 suggests 1961. The "book" says 4-screw sideplates were in the range S130000 to S167500.
Also the trade mark fades to the right; is that at all normal?
I'd appreciate any input. Thanks
