I really not complaining. I still get to shoot every week, sometimes twice a week, plus competitions. I work pt at the range which helps a lot.
At least he has good taste.

Well, your responsibilities come first, so good on you. Now, post the phone number/website because I'd buy that in a skinny minute. I only have a cranky English Bulldog to feed

Check out the timing, lock up, etc. That was the gun to have for revolver in USPSA and IDPA a few years ago. Some of them have been run pretty hard. It looks like it has the original front sight with paint on it. That would probably be a good thing, meaning it hasn't been run hard in competition.
I thought that is what the “03” might have been for. Semper Fi there Devil Dog. I wind up rolling the MOS into usernames, passwords, lock combos, etc. I guess I’m not special! Talking about lock combos.... I still remember my lock combo from Parris Island. It was important not to forget it.
I owned and shot a 25 but it was a hassle with the moon clips. Recently I’ve checked out some of the newer tools that speed up and simplify things. I also picked up some 45 Auto Rim brass and hand loaded them. It was a super accurate sweet shooting revolver. Definitely enjoyed it. It wound up going in a trade for something else I absolutely “needed” at that moment. I’d like to own a whole lot of different firearms. Just can’t afford to own all of them at the same time.
Your son has excellent taste in literature.
We may lose and we may win, but we will never be here again.......
Layaway!!!
I had one back in the day, tuned the action then had John Nowlin rebarrel it for pin shooting. Won no small number of events with it. Then sold it to a buddy who managed to bulge the cylinder.
I still have a 25-2 that I’ll probably keep forever.
Buy it- layaway, whatever it takes.
If you can, layaway. My S&W book says the 625 is worth $600 in VG condition, $750 in Ex condition, and $1000 in LNIB. That book has always been low value-wise in my experience. I'd add $100 to each of those numbers.
Short of the S&W market tanking like it hasn't done yet, you'll be able to get your money back at any point you decide to sell it.
