Saw this firearm at a LGS today. The frame is blued while the cylinder, yoke and ejector rod are nickel. The cylinder has an "N" stamped on it. I'm not interested in purchasing it but I am curious as to its origin. Did S&W ever produce a revolver configured like this or is this a custom modification. Thoughts?
The factory made at least one large production run of model 38s with 'stainless' cylinders and the yokes on these were blued, so I suspect Cpl. Coffman is correct. Perhaps he was a Detective in his prior position?
Thanks for the info. It caught my eye as I walked in. I was compelled to pick it up and exam it. I know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder but this one I've classified as "odd". No offense to others that may find it appealing. Thanks!
Model 38 with Nickel Cylinder & Ejector Rod?
