I missed three here on the forum and a couple more on other sites before finding this one on Armslist.

The gun was F-I-L-T-H-Y but I scored it for $535 total, shipped with the original hinged lid box. My receiving FFL cleaned it up for me and I put a set of 1970's vintage Herrett's Shooting Star grips I got for $40 of flea bay, then stripped and refinished. I will be giving the revolver to my wife later today as her 11th wedding anniversary present.

Nice gun, & stocks! I have a warm spot for Herretts. Have bought 2 sets in the last few months. K round, and K square. Both close to perfect, and both under $40. Yes, ebay! Bob
