Looks like K frame grips on it but the price is right.

Looks like K frame grips on it but the price is right. ***** To judge from fhe photos:* Grips are not original. A grip made for the K frame grip doesn’t fit the N frame. * Green front sight insert is not factory original. Factory molded-in plastic inserts were options in vermilion red and lemon yellow. White , also, as I recall. S&W offered the insert work on the Baughman ramp and Patridge target sights (as well as brass McGivern round bead and Call beveled flat bead). The front edge of a correct Baughman rampl is flush with front of sight base, and crown. * Second photo shows an egregious cylinder gap, highly doubtful from factory. * Trigger is bastardized, with grinding at top to look like a Taurus trigger. Wrong for consistent finger placement. * A minor annoyance, rollmarks are painted. Easily removed with acetone or lacquer thinner. All of which, for a prospective buyer warrants closer inspection.

I took a set of K frame grips off of a M27 after I bought it so I can report that one set did fit as shown in the M57 photo.
If this M57 is not legit, so be it.
Sorry I posted it now. My apologies.

My apologies. ***** parallaxbnll.... nothing to apologize for. The photos indicate a non-original revolver. It hurts no one to have this info, especially someone who may be interested.

I have a 4” no dash in great shape with a box that I’ll be posting on gunbroker as soon as I can get photos to download from the iPad, was worried it would bring less than I hoped when I saw this listing but Bradshaw has put my fears at ease 🤞
