Beautiful! I don’t need one, but at $700 that would have rapidly come home with me. Nice grab!

It looks even better way out there on West Beach. If I remember correctly that's where you are at.

Neato !
The 6" Combat Magnum is an interesting conundrum,
When SW introduced the 4" version of the 6" K38 Masterpiece it got a new name "K38 Combat Masterpiece" same for its .22lr sibling and each version got its own model number in 1958.
The .32 Masterpiece was an exception to the rule since the 4" K32 was made in such small numbers.
In 1955 SW introduced the Combat Magnum with a 4" barrel length only and it would become the Model 19.
The 6" barrel version is introduced in 1963 but strangely it was given the same model number and "Combat" name (apparently to trigger my OCD).
In a perfect world it would have been named the KT .357 Magnum Masterpiece,
Using the same theory in 1956 when SW introduced the 4" version of the .44 Magnum it should have been named the NT .44 Combat Magnum...end of rant lol.
What's interesting about your six inch 1971 Model 19-3 is that although the ramp became integral with the barrel you can make out the set pin that secures the fs blade even though it was polished flush, I have your guns twin a nickel six inch 19-3 but it was made in 1969 just prior to the integral ramp change so it has a separate ramp that was finished in blue then secured to the barrel with two proud set pins,
My 1969 version also has a Baughman blade vs your Patridge fs.
I find that also interesting that the Model 28 and 29 are standard with Baughman fs blades where the 6" and longer 27 and 19 were made with either option.
