I'll say "very likely"...... and the term is Flatgate, one word.

Those are some purdy pieces. Looks like they need to be out on the range.

There are a few variations of the Tri Color Flatgates. The common versions trade in the $500-$800 range, give or take a few bucks. One man's mint gun may be a 90% gun to someone else. Low serial numbers will enhance the value. A small group of them were marked with the letter "S" which signifies them as "Seconds".

Then there's the two digit s/n example with the S marking......

S/N 200088 S Value? I dunno. I ain't selling so it don't matter.

The story of that particular gun is kinda interesting. I was on the phone with "Odie's Master" (some of you guys may know who that is.....) and he said a mutual friend stumbled upon that 2 digit LWAC in a little gun shop in the Midwest. The guy was a Super Blackhawk collector and didn't really care much about those weird Lightweights but he knew he'd better grab it before it disappeared. I made a deal that included a nice OM Super........
