If the short barrel is original, is it correct to assume that the gun is relatively rare? Would the gun have come with pre-war magna grips originally? I don't think I've seen Catalin grips on anything other than single action army guns.
Any comments about the gun or grips are appreciated.

I just bought # S 963156 shipped 12-47 from our friends at Joe Salter. It too is a 2" with the long action. It is in mint condition with no signs of ever being fired. My guess is, yours was also made in 1947. Mine has numbered to the gun, high horn magna stocks. Big Larry
