Thanks Zee. I'm definitely not the only one. Many of you have made me lust after your firearms, knifes, leather..... I sure wish the revolver was together with the presentation case and tools that it was shipped with.
Those MOP grips look like they don't fit quite right at the bottom. Am I seeing things?
They are a hair proud and one of these days I have to address that. I haven’t so far because I keep thinking someday I’ll get a snub nose model 10, old school with the round sight and then I might move these grips to that gun and I can’t if I grind them to this frame.

Treasure find by our own Junkcollector! It’s really that forward lower corner edge where they are a hair proud, you don’t even notice it holding/shooting. That’s why I’m in no hurry.

Those sharp shouldered magnas were gone by about 1955 though. Pretty hard to find before the edge got more rounded.
The front sight would be correct the red ramp white outline rear are 29 and 57 traits.
