I had to go back and look. Under much better light there is a extremely Faint J at the beginning of the Ser#
The gun was refinished by S&W after it was purchased. It was rebuffed and it seems the J was buffed thin as shown in the pic.
Could have been, I am not sure nor care :) It is pretty tight and does not have a butter smooth trigger worn in yet. If it was shot....It wasn't much at all.
Thanks all! These seem to be commanding a much higher price than what I paid on the auction sites. I have been scouring the pawn shops and guns shops looking for one for a while. Should be a fine running 36.
I have been wanting one of these for a while. I came across this for under $400 and hosed or not... I Jumped on it. Looks to be mid 70's vintage.
I can see no use other than the super light turn ring.
I definitely plan on shooting it and carrying it after a good once over.
I want to shoot the gun in single action. This inst going to be a carry piece for me.
Just really needing to know if any year of model of J frame hammer would work for this 1977 model.
Thanks again.
I have a chance to pick up a 70's model 60 in .38 spl.
It was a BUG for a older LEO. The rest of the gun is of course in fantastic shape but the hammer was bobbed. I can grab it with my thumb and finger and thumb as if i wanted to fire it in SA so it was not made DAO.
I cannot live with...
