the triggers are in the black and I've seen ( and have) some early ones and they have different thickness triggers too boot, see skinny ones later ,higher numbers and fatter ones , even in low 3 and 4 digit numbers........the "parts" bag usually has the serial number of the gun it came out of,,,,, black markered on the bag..........

As Dan has mentioned,, you could have a bit of either the skinny or fat triggers. The hammers were in the black/blued.

Nice find for you!

The tri-color Lightweight should definitely have the skinny trigger. Thick triggers won't be seen until the last of the all blue LWSC steel cylinder models.

here's a low 2 digit and oddly enough a low 3 digit "S" gun that both look the same to me, but who knows if the S gun was shipped late or a return. I should look into that...lol. I hope this helps with your question. FNC

Thanks for the pictures Scott the trigger looks the same as mine but my hammer has some black on the sides all the parts that came with it were in a sandwich bag and was missing the cyl pin the dealer put the parts back in and had a cyl pin in his parts pile
Thanks everyone that helped
