I am researching a 60-1 that the seller says is one of the 660 revolvers produced for Ashland in 1985. The serial number seems correct, ALU40XX, but the followng items seem wrong.
1) The front sight has a red (orange) insert.
2) The grips are highly figured and smooth with S&W medallions instead of the checkered magnas.
3) The box is a two piece Bangor Punta instead of the one piece 'Revolver' box with the printed label and product code information.
The grips and box aren't major issues but I am concerned about the front sight. Has anyone ever seen an Ashland with a front sight insert? The ones that I have seen in person and in pictures do not.
Any and all information is appreciated.
Thanks - Mike
