Nice looking gun and holster!
Two matching clips is a big deal.

The gun seems to have very little wear from the holster storage (all the parts that would rub).
All the serial numbers are readable, but the proofs are harder to read (close up needed on the right side).

Then get a close-up of the top of the barrel where there should be a date code.

Also, could you get a close up of the front frame and barrel, which should show the full serial number on both and a suffix.

I've never seen a holster looks so new and perfect. Looks brand new - no wear at all !? Is the holster marked at all or is it a new one? It's hard to believe it would look so new after 60 years !!!

Please do tell us the story !
