That's what I just put on layaway at the local pawn shop.
I was perusing the guns and spotted a stainless N frame with a full lug, 5" barrel. At first I thought "625", but on the side of the barrel was stamped the caliber .38-40. I checked it out of course after seeing that. Sure enough the cylinder is indeed chambered in .38-40. Open the cylinder and it says "610" below the S/N. No suffix. The Gun has no lock, firing pin on the hammer, and the trigger is smooth as silk. It wore very nice custom looking grips on a round-butt frame.
I seem to remember some distributor having these made back in the day, but I can't think of anything else.
Price $479, used, excellent condition. Yeah, I put it on layaway, so no pics yet.
So just what do I have?

icked it up and took a quick pic. Found Black Hills .38-40 ammo on sale for $25/box, normally $38, so I picked up a couple hundred rounds. That should last me and give me some brass to reload to begin with.
