.357 Magnum S&W
Hand Eject
Three sets of numbers behind the yoke
1st, “REG. 5069”
2nd, “43381”. Same number is found on inside of yoke
3rd, “59656” which is same number on the butt which I understand is the serial number
The letter “B” appears about 5/8ths of an inch towards the end of the barrel underneath the ejector plunger (for lack of proper nomenclature) preceding the serial number.
3 screws on frame plus 1 screw ahead of trigger guard
Blued steel
4” barrel.
Rear sight is adjustable
Front sight is shined brass on top of blue steel ramp. Words “King” & “Pat. Pend.” On the ramp.
In 1960s up until early 1980s Titan II nuclear launch silos were based in Arkansas. The Air Force hired civilian guards to patrol perimeters & halt civilians before they approached heavily armed AF security warriors. My late father in law was such a guard. He carried this pistol, and I shows a lot of holster wear but little wear in the barrel. Wife just inherited it from her late brother.
