Speed Six with square butt?

[FergusonTO35]

Anybody seen one of these before, or maybe it has the wrong grips on it?

Looks like a Speed Six, with Security Six grips on it.

Look closely at the bottom of the grips.

 

[FergusonTO35]

Yeah, thats what I was thinking.

 

[Pinecone]

No question he is obviously "mis-representing" what he has, either advertantly or inadvertantly! It has Security/Service-Six grips on it and it also has a 2 3/4" barrel. Way too much for a "regular" Speed-Six in that condition!.................Dick :wink:

Also, since that revolver has the warning statement on the barrel it couldn't be any earlier than s/n 153-60425 when this statement was first stamped on the barrel in 1978!

I agree. The kiddy caption is on the barrel, and looking at the bottom of the grips, it looks like the butt is inset from the rear. It's interesting that they say it is a second year production model (1973).

It looks kinda, sorta, nice, but not for $588.

Way to much and the wrong grips/stocks. I agree with the 1978 model year.

that listing is all kinds of wrong.someone will probably buy it thinking they got a deal.

Not to mention the scalloped recoil shield and HEAVY cylinder turn line.

you can see in the picture where the gripframe stops and the grips keep going at the bottom right of the pic.
