Perhaps to confirm a factory brass gripframe if the owner would allow that, otherwise, not much reason to take anything apart. Study the gripframe changes a bit and you can pretty well tell if something is correct. Get a RENE values book, the specific details listed are valuable information.
There IS the "R" stamp under the grip assembly on a factory converted gun
that sometimes it may be nice to not see there if you have a gun you suspect was re-converted, but the chance of being allowed to
inspect that area on a sellers gun is almost non-existent.
They look at you like you grew antennas, or something.

Early drift sight gun. I'm tempted to buy it just for the grips. :shock:

That gun is somewhat rare as there were only about 1000 made. That gun should have the small size serial numbers, XR3 grip frame, steel ejector rod housing, and the magnum cylinder "ONLY" should have the last 3 digits stamped on the front of the cylinder. Although some guns may have both cylinders stamped, "MAYBE". If that gun hasn't been converted with the transfer bar system, then it should be worth the $500.00. Of course, it should be a 95 to 97% gun and it is hard to tell by the pictures. RENE list this gun with a value of $655 at 95 to 97%.
