Newly acquired 34-1

[guesser]

Seems as if it might be a transition production. Marked plainly 34-1 with smooth trigger, target style hammer, no pin for barrel. S/N M2224XX
Please; someone with a list, date the shipment for me.

Nice, probably late 1982 or maybe '83; would need a letter to know exactly when it shipped or, if you're a SWCA member (which I strongly recommend) Roy Jinks will provide the ship date on the SWCA member side of the Forum. I found this very slightly newer one (M222757) last week which I think is early 1983 but haven't verified yet.

I'm estimating 1983. I have M19077X which dates to Mar 82.

According to the Catalog, 1983 is SN M219081 - xxxx. Therefore, I believe H Richard is correct.

Model 34s are so sweet. Wonder if it's possible to outfit one with a 22WMR cylinder.
