Bearcat? Super Bearcat?

[Mike Armstrong]

I'm looking at an NIB Bearcat with the "brass" trigger guard. The owner won't tell me the serial number over the phone, but told me it was manufactured in 1971. Would this be a "Super Bearcat" with a steel frame? Or is it an OM Bearcat with alloy frame? (Don't want to drive all the way across LA County for the wrong gun....twice, since it IS California!)

If 1971 mfg. it would be a Super Bearcat. Just ask him for the serial number prefix, it should be a 91. Gee, you could not do anything with just the "91".
