Well, I guess there is no need to bother Mr. Jinks on this 13-3 but I will use the form to letter this Lew Horton 24-3 unfired NOS that arrived in the mail today! Thanks for all your help gentleman. Very interesting discussion!

Upon further inspection Kernel, you are correct. DA/SA If it was done outside the factory, the work is incredible. It could explain what I see as a shoulder rig rub however. Thanks.

Thanks for the info on Mr. Jinks. I will be dropping a check in the mail tomorrow!

Thanks for that information. DAO, out for the FBI. I will remember that tidbit.

Thanks. Appreciate the info. Would Smith have distributed them say like Uncle Mikes?

It is my understanding that Roy Jinks has retired. I would have gone that route had I not heard that. I am hearing that things may be a little crazy right no

I have an interesting piece. A 13-3 Product code 100304. Special order 3025 with a 007 sub number that presents itself with a factory bobbed hammer and what appears to be an extra set of smooth combat grips. Smooth trigger as well. Is there any knowledge of any special orders for the FBI or...

Thanks! So the Serial number actually was from 1954? I added a couple more photos to help.

Sorry had some technical difficulty.

Serial number is 647889 so it is deep into the 1957 run. I wasn't aware of 3" Pre Model 30's as the catalog does not mention them. Here is the backside of the gun. Thanks for the help!

I have a 3" definitely not a 3 1/4" I frame flat latch .32 hand ejector that is not stamped a Model 30. The flat latch and 3" barrel tell me it is a 1957 production. Did some 30's get out of the factory unstamped? Any help is appreciated!

Now that is funny, you got me. I stand corrected. I will remember this Captain Sparrow.

I will go to the link and research. In the same purchase I got a 99% 15-4 4", 2 99% 19-4 4", a 27-2 6" 90%, a K 22 6 " 85% and the K38. Thanks for all your assistance. God Bless!

Thanks for all the help! I am trying to retain the info. So I have a cool gun but not that rare. Sure looks good, I am going to put it in a safe. Thanks again.
