You acquired a very nice nickel 6-1/2" bbl. New Century (.44 HE, TL)! It's too bad that you sold your father's TL...it was probably a sweet revolver. But at least you've somewhat replaced it now and it can become a family heirloom. I've been searching for one that I could afford for quite a while, and I'm off to a local gun show today to see what I can find. I would prefer a blued 6-1/2" bbl version, but any TLs are scarce as hen's teeth around here and online. Every time the wife and I watch "The Mummy Returns" (2001, starring Brendan Fraser) I get jealous because in the early scenes Rick O'Connell (Brendan Fraser) flashes around a minty blued 6-1/2" TL! Well, it's on my bucket list. The closest I've come so far is this modified 1927 4" nickel .44 HE 3rd Model (W&K Model of 1926). Congratulations and enjoy!
