A fellow enabler alerted me to this post via PM this morning and asked for my thoughts.

While I am certainly no expert, I am a huge fan of the big bore snubs.

My guess is this is Product Code 103600, marketed as the Lew Horton Classic Carry. These were produced from late 1996 until early 1997. According to the factory letters from Lew Horton regarding the two in my collection, there were 538 units produced. Of those 127 were shipped with Altamont rosewood grips and the other 411 shipped with Hogue synthetic grips.

All of the examples I have seen were either CBL or CCL S/N prefix. I have not seen any documented over run examples.

However, these were not ported. I would guess this was done after the fact. I believe you can still request a letter from Lew Horton for a fee. Hope that helps.

Best regards, Bob.
