It's an early one, maybe 1950s.
Anyone seen a front sight like this from the factory? It appears to be pinned.
What you have there is an early 5 screw Model 19, made in about 1955 or 1956 when they first came out.
Really? No ejector rod shroud on those?
Good eye, Carmady.
My first center fire revolver was a model 19 with TT, TH and Patridge front sight just like on the OPs gun.
It depends on if you plan on shooting it or looking at it. I shoot mine everyday, with its ugly condoms. Handsome is as handsome does.Just get those ugly rubber condoms off that beauty
From 1905 to 1955 most Smith & Wesson revolvers had five screws, four held on the side plate and one in front of the trigger guard. After 1955 the top side plate screw was eliminated, and from that time until 1961 the revolvers were known as 4-screw guns.
It doesn’t have a TT.
