Hello All - this is my first post to the forum and I'm also just a few days into owning my first S&W.
I believe I have a Model 1, 3rd Issue here. My question is related to the serial number - 132448. Many of the references on the Model 1, 3rd Issue indicate that there were only 131,163 manufactured. So how does a serial number in excess of that number like mine at 132448 fit in the history of this model? Have I incorrectly ID'd this revolver?
Thank you in advance for your wisdom and guidance!
