Looking at the barrel, it is definitely noticably newer than the cylinder.


The number on the yoke and behind the cylinder are paired, it is the original cylinder.

There isn't a reg stamp, so if 8 1/4" would mean is was registered then I'm probably measuring wrong.
We are talking about 1/8". S&W revolvers are often a bit shorter than advertised, due to machining practices. I'm going to say the barrel was supposed to be 8 3/8" long.
