serial number

I bought a couple of the stainless .41 Mag. blackhawks when they came out. This afternoon I took the ejector rod housing off, had to force it back on, under the housing was the serial number stamped on the barrel. Didn,t know they were doing that.

~2010 Last four digits of serial # now etched on bottom of barrel and upper grip frame, right side.
