The serial number indicates 1982 as date of manufacture. The gun originally had sight and trigger work by famous Memphis gunsmith M. V. Highsmith (deceased). The Hogue grips were added at this time. Superior Tresco-Ampco nipples replaced the original ROA ones. I've never shot it much as I was intending to try it out on white tail deer, but they never cooperated, so it ended up as a safe queen. Also included is the LEE 452-190-SWC mold that I modified so that the bullet would hold securely in the cylinder. $950 + Shipping.
