I don't know if anyone's looking for older Colt DA revolvers, but Foundation Pawn in Loveland CO has at least 20 for sale. No affiliation, just letting folks know. A Diamondback in 22 would be pretty cool, but out of my price range right now.

If we have to march off into the next world, let us walk there on the bodies of our enemies.
I was thinking the same, either parts gun or conversion. It's got the new type rear sight with the rounded tang combined with a case-colored hammer and trigger, which look odd but could be about right for 1994 production when that combination of features showed up on the Model 29 and 629. It makes me want to see the serial number on the butt under the grips.
Then I found this on the S&W forums:
And then I found this: http://smith-wessonforum.com/s-w-rev...ial-essay.html
So apparently S&W mixed dot-matrix markings, stamped markings, and laser-etched markings on the same gun. And apparently the mid 1990s were big transition years. And apparently some of their dot-matrix serial numbers DO look like they were applied by someone with a center punch and a hangover.
I have no idea whether the gunbroker example is legit, but I'm reminded that with Smith & Wesson, anything is possible.

I'm tempted but not enough to buy it sight unseen on the internet. Might be of interest to someone local..
