serial #58735, Registration #4735, 357 Magnum, 6'' barrel with an excellent bore. This lovely revolver was returned to the factory in October, 1942 and October, 1949 and have appropriate rework marks. The barrel appears to have been refinished while the rest appears to be mostly mechanical related as evidenced by the replacement extractor star that has a zeroed out numbers which was fitted and renumbered to this gun. It retains about 97%-98% original and restored blue showing light edge wear, scattered handling marks, minor freckling, and a small dings on the barrel and knuckle areas. The service trigger retain strong case-hardened colors fading to gray on the lower half while the hammer was blued after the custom work was performed to it. The grips are a beautiful set of diamond checkered walnut Roper target stocks with open backstrap and right hand palm swell that rate very good plus showing a few light handling marks, a very small chip on the butt of the right panel, and a tiny gap at the toe from minor warping. They have the famed ''Gagne jig holes'' on the back but lack the usual Roper finger ribbons, although not unprecedented. This fine gun features a King reflector Patridge front sight, factory black blade adjustable rear sight, an over travel stop has been added to the triggerguard, the factory hammer with serrated sides has been remodeled by King with a wider and longer spur featuring fine checkering (not the cockeyed variant), and all the appropriate parts are correctly numbered to the gun. A superb period Registered Magnum showing light use. (8B11672-1) {C&R} (5000/7000)
