I won't be able to dig it out until later in the weekend due to company/plans. I've had it about 10 years so it is likely buried pretty deep and may take some time to locate once I'm back home. The OP gets first chance at it, then everyone else in the order I heard from them. Be aware that it is not a mint gun - I have it rated 94-95% and it is in the 202xxx range.
OK, I got to digging and decided there are two tri-colors that I can part with. They are 202523 and 201820. Both are nice but neither is perfect. Both should date to 1956 but I have not called on either.
202523 appears all correct, has moderate muzzle wear on left with some patina, heavy discoloration on hammer spur that could be easily polished out, a small ding on the front sight blade, normal chipping of the Martin Hardcoat at the cylinder leeds, minor wear on the grip frame.
201820 has the later (thicker, less curved) trigger that came out in 1958 so may be a replacement (unless the gun shipped late). Has moderate silvering on left side of barrel. Cylinder color slightly lighter than the other gun, leed wear about the same. Hammer not discolored. Grip frame a little more worn than the other.
I can take better close-ups indoors after the sun goes down if needed, these are just some quick outdoor shots in full sun:
$750 shipped each for choice.

wmg,
I'm looking for the Lightweight with the flat loading gate & small serrated ejector rod button. Known s/n range 200000 to 203861. From what I can tell from your photos, it looks like they are. True? If so, I would like one of them, especially the one with the original correct trigger. Thanks!

PS. I have the Lightweight with the flat loading gate & large concave (dimpled) face ejector rod botton & I need the earlier one to help with rounding out my Lightweight collection. Still need the "S" marked ones (factory second) though.

To all who were interested, I'm sorry but both guns are sold to the original poster. Had he not taken them both, the first guy in line behind him was prepared to take both. There were six guys in line after the OP.
