PICTURED ABOVE IS A 5 SCREW S&W .38/44 HEAVY DUTY MODEL OF 1950 ("PRE-MODEL 20") 6.5" 38 SPECIAL, circa 1955, SERIAL # S 1420XX. THE GRIPS ARE CORRECT BUT 1 PANEL IS NOT NUMBERED AND THE OTHER IS NUMBERED 142139, CLOSE ENUFF TO THIS REVOLVER's SERIAL # TO MAKE ME THINK MAYBE IT LEFT THE FACTORY THAT WAY? I HAD RON REED FROM OKLAHOMA MAKE A LOAD FOR ME THAT WOULD SHOOT TO THE SIGHTS. THIS REVOLVER IS IN VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT CONDITION. I DO NOT HAVE A BOX OR PAPERS. THE REVOLVER IS "RARE" BECAUSE MOST WERE 4" OR 5" REVOLVERS AND WITH THE 6.5" MODELS BEING NOTED AS "rare" AND AS "bringing a premium".
THIS NEAT REVOLVER, LIKE MOST .358 CALIBER REVOLVERS IN THE GARZA HOUSEHOLD, MOSTLY GETS OWNED AND RARELY GETS SHOT AND EVEN MORE RARELY CARRIED AFIELD.
I HAVE BEEN THINKING OF MOVING THIS REVOLVER BUT MAN IT IS HARD TO MOVE NEAT N FRAMES.
