While visiting in Denver area this last week I stopped by the fairly new Cablea's in Lone Tree. I spotted something interesting in the case in the "Library" wearing a early N Frame service grip. After the rep. retrieves it and I start looking over it, I note the front sight is reworked, then I look at the cylinder and it has been sleeved as well as the barrel. Those were the only external differences, and if it has been refinished I sure can't tell it. After some negotiations my C&R allows me to take it home with me.
I think this is a Canadian, but I'm not well versed in the various proof marks. Can someone help me identify just what the markings represent?
In the 3rd photo there is a lightly stamped B-F in front of the S/N, and yes, all #'s match. The barrel is a teeny amount short of 6 1/2" and the muzzle looks to have been faced. Very quality looking work.
