Have my doubts

Hi Hugh, Thanks for the heads-up. It's an interesting assemblage of parts. I don't think the front of the frame has been shaved, it's more likely that that undated receiver is from a long frame gun. The unmarked 6" barrel is definitely a replacement.
Regards, Norm

Norm, the displacement doesn't look large enough for the long/short frame swap...

(If anyone else is thinking of bidding, be aware that my absolutely top bid will be $120...OK, maybe $150...You'll have to beat that...)

The difference between a long and short frame is only 1mm.

Dwight, I don't have a stripped barrel or barrel extension of either here to measure, but reading the prints it looks like 2mm...or .078"...
