Hey everyone,

just joined to see if I could get any insight on this revolver that was recently passed down to me from my grandfather. I’ve been doing some research and can’t pinpoint the exact model or really any information on it, as I can’t seem to find one like it. Any help would be appreciated!

It's a Model 63, sometimes called a 'Kit' gun.

This is a tough one. Looking at the photos you provided (very nice ones by the way) I'd guess you have a Model 63. Based on the s/n yours was probably produced in 1977, 1978 but that is just a guess. It has a pinned barrel so definitely before 1983. The Model 63 production ran from 1977 to 1998.

1978. Second year of production. Very nice. Desirable gun. Enjoy!
