Good find at the pawn shop.
I should have stayed out of the local pawn shop this afternone. I was walking by the last case going out the door and something cought my eye. It was an 8 3/8" 17-3. Well to make a long story short, I bought it. I need some help with a date of manufacture. I put it in this section because it has a pinned barrel. The serial number is 6K102XX. It has target hammer and smooth target trigger(very good triger at that) and apears to be in about 95% condition. Here's a couple of pictures.
Thanks for the help.
Bill

I am a big fan of the smooth target trigger.
Good looking revolver you have there.

Congratulations - nice gun at an amazing price! In my area, if you can find one (not likely), they're bringing $600+.

Got to love pawn shops. Nice find and an excellent price. Neither of mine are that nice and definitely not that good of a price.

Good find, bet it shoots nice. That long barrel reminds me of the Jokers gun in the original Batman movie.
