help needed here. There is an auction presently where the seller said the US nay ordered 19's in stainless before the 66 existed and I think the gun may just be metalloyed or hardchromed.The sellers description is as follows
"THIS IS A SMITH&WESSON MODEL 19-3 RARE STAINLESS STEEL ADITION 500 MADE FOR THE US NAVY JUST BEFORE THEY SWITCHED OVER TO MODEL 66 NO DASH PINnED AND RECESSED MODEL MADE IN1975 SS# 8K XXX COMES WITH A VERY RARE ORIGINAL FACTORY STAMPED COMBAT GRIP THAT MADE FOR A FEW PERFORMANCE CENTER ADITIONS ."
there was no performance center back in those days. here is a picture of it
any comments would be very much appreciated since i dont know if its a treasure or just a misrepresented piece
