Single cylinder old model XR3 frame Single Six from 1959 before the convertibles were offered. Not converted, pretty nice condition with a moderate cylinder line, and typical minor wear for a 65 year old revolver, and the grip eagles are missing 80% of their black paint. Mechanically excellent with buttery smooth action and a fine bore with sharp rifling. The box is present but rough, with one ragged end of the lid blown out and one corner of the bottom blown out and that edge split. Some judicious restoration work could definitely improve it, as discussed in a box repair thread elsewhere. Still, I believe I can make out enough of the serial number on the box to assume it is the original number-matching box. No manual present but the 1959 manual is relatively common.

$650 $625 shipped FFL to FLL (USPS shipping, so no C&R due to postal regs)
