Hmmm....I wonder if that one letters as a 10"? Its over 2,000 sn's earlier than the earliest 10" .357 I've ever noted. Would be the earliest known by a long shot if it letters. Then again...maybe it was sent back to the factory, returned to stock and sent back out a later date like a couple .44's we know about.

HMMM, I was sorta wondering what was up myself.......thought I looked and 22xxx was the starting area.....have 22667 and 22668 at home.....should be "3 digit" guns....RR.

Yeah, I noted that in the other thread, but not here.

Quite a few of these got "made" by returns to TheFactory back in the day.

A letter would be a necessity.

The Maxi's grips seem to be "non-period correct".
