[Greyman50]

There is a 686 -4 2 1/2” with BRF before serial number which is xx87.marks on lower is B24 , 493 with S with a K over it. Code is 21264 104.
nothing in S&W 5 th edition with similar info.
Guy that has it thinks its a Lew Horton but no white outline rear sight. Any info would be appreciated as I’m interested but he wants $1100….

No one knows? Really looking for info on this revolver. Has pitting under the grips so feel the $1,100 price is way out of line.
Any help greatly appreciated.

No Way is that a Lew Horton 2 1/2" 686, product code 104212.

The Lew Horton run of 2500 revolvers began in 1984. A BRF Serial prefix revolver would have been manufactured around 1994/5

Most all of the other numbers are assembly/fitter numbers that assure a set of fitted parts stay together as they flow through production

If the seller thinks he hasa TRUE LH revolver, ask him to submit his Factory letter to you that states that, or have him show you the End Label on the box, or ANY kind of proof other than his word

To me, "Lew Horton" means nothing. I have a no dash 2.5", serial prefix AFA, and don't care to know if it is a lew horton or not. Also, $1100 for a rusty (under grip pitting) stainless gun is too much.

Thanks for the reply, what I thought from looking at the S&W book. Due to the pitting under the grips I doubt I’ll have much interest in it. BTW its in a “ porn shop”, nuf sed.
