Yes it’s an older gun. It has the Bridgeport address on the barrel.
According tho the interwebz the company was moved in 1976.
I’d be interested. I’ve got a stainless .44, a stainless 2” Pathfinder, and a blue Undercover Off Duty. I like them for what they are and don’t pretend they are something they’re not.
