Tried that, didn't change anything.

In 2011-2012 I came across a Model 58 exactly configured like the one the OP has at the Oaks Gun Show in PA. The dealer that had it wanted $1500.00 for it. The gun was not lettered but it did have the silver box that showed the options checked on the label.The price was not negotiable so I passed due to the lack of a letter and condition of the finish.

FINALLY....I got the pics to load!
The last one is with my 27-2.

Well finally someone who can take good pics of nickel guns!

That 58 looks fantastic. The sight insert reminds me of the work done on my 70s 34-1 (that was also hard chromed). Good luck with the letter, perhaps it'll show it shipped as a 3T and the owner then had the insert done. I'm skeptical but I'm just playing the odds...

Thanks for the pics of the nickel 58s!

They seem to be rare birds, so it's always a treat to get to see one.

I have a 58, but it's a paltry blue finish.

Still a fun gun, and it always gets a puzzled look from people that have never heard of .41 mag.

Very nice 58 and also the 27. Let us know what you find out if you are going to letter it. I did end up with a nickel 58.

"The red ramp dovetail is nickeled and not cut afterwards."

A good man with a file can cut a dovetail that looks just like it was done in Springfield, Mass.

That is a beautiful revolver.

The other thing to remember is that the front sight is pinned in, so it can easily be replaced with another that has been modified, or for that matter replaced with a standard front sight should the current owner choose.
