As to when it shipped from the factory, that is one of the higher SNs that I have seen for a pre-war K-Frame target revolver. So I would expect that it shipped sometime in 1940. |
The pics look better than it is. There is a big spot on the cylinder where the blue is frosty. When I got it, it was stored wrapped in a rag in a zippered case.
IIRC the date on the grip frame is 248 but I am probably wrong.
Someone here said that the humpback would have been a special order and I should letter it. With my luck if I was Dolly Parton’s baby, I’d have been bottle fed, so I’m not going to.
The next owner can.
Here’s a pic of the blotch.
The pic makes it look worse than it is.
