The RENE lists the serial number range for all Lightweights is as follows;
1956, 200000,,, until 1959,, and 212534.
So,, apparently,, yes is should be a LWT.

Check the cylinder with a magnet. It's in the right general serial number range to be a "steel cylinder lightweight" variation. Kinda looks like it. :wink:

 

[XLIV]

Affirmative. Magnet sticks to cylinder. Hope I didnt waste $250

An excellent score.

I once did something similar. At a gun show,, friday night after set-up,, wandering the tables. Spotted the different coloration of the gun from about 15 ft away. Asked about seeing it,, immediately recognized it as a LWT, and asked the price. Was happy to pay $325 back then. You beat my price,,!!

Great story..good fun...but...

Notice the hammer..

My only disappointment was the bag of parts that came with it.

Yep, the old girl was violated.

As long as you have the parts, I'd say you're OK.

A really serious collector might look askance at the frame stamp indicating conversion, but I doubt it would be a $250 criticism. :wink:
