PM me and I'll tell you my best guess. The letters are $100 today (were $45-$50).
It looks like a 1978/1979 in the 4th Edition. Nonetheless, it is a pinned and recessed barrel. You have a 19-4? The P&R revolvers are always more valuable.Jinks isn't doing the letters anymore?

Roy is moving forward in his retirement. He has moved back his day-to-day activities. He is over 80+ years old.
You guys need to join the S&W Collectors Assoc. (S&WCA) to get the best news. I will have some extra different issues of the SWCA Journal available (for free) at ODT 2022. Just don't say where you got them.
