SPLITZ, this one is recessed, but not pinned. Also model number on crane is model 63 without a dash. Serial number dates to '82 I believe which would make it a -1.

Are there Smith .22LR revolvers that aren't recessed? Never thought about it before but I don't think I've ever seen or heard of one that's not. :?

That's gorgeous, Dave! I need to find some of the J frame square butt target grips for my 34. You got it all in one package! :)

Looks like my 651 no-dash, including the red ramp. A cute little killer--I shoot it better than any of my other wheel guns, sadly including some nifty Rugers....

Looks brand new. They will never manufacture that level of quality again, congrats!
