Magnificent ! Your post also helps put to rest a long running controversy of barrel markings. In another thread a member posted post war .44 Special, (not a target version) that did not have "dingbats" (yes, that is the official word) or "Maltese Cross" emblems fore and aft the ".44 S&W SPECIAL CTG." barrel markings.

That 1954 ship date and condition of the piece is just amazing.

I have a 4" Target, special ordered for Emerson Axe, major S&W stockholder and member of S&W Board of Directors, shipped in 1950.
