Ok! I'm impressed. Any of the .22 mag revolvers are scarce enough, but the 4 inch is actually a ghost. It ranks up there with the 28 gauge Winchester model 12.

Yes, the 4" pre-lock, pre-mim Model 48 revolvers are very scarce. This one cost me $1,300.00. But, that's the advantage of being a member of the S&W Collectors Association. We have a members only forum where a lot of beautiful S&Ws are sold or traded that the general public never has the opportunity to see, let alone acquire.

The wrong marking just makes it more interesting. Good find for the price. You gonna shoot it or just look at it? More pics please.

I don't remember exactly but it's been at least 30 years.
If you're interested in S&W firearms and would like to join the association, you can do so here: https://theswca.org. The annual membership fee is $50.00. With that, you will receive the S&W Journal and allowed to display your collection at the annual symposium.
There's also the S&W Historical Foundation where you can get a lot of information about your S&W firearm. You can join the SWHF here: https://swhistoricalfoundation.com. There is a one time fee of $100.00 to join with no future fees. Members of the SWCA or the SWHF receive a discount for factory letters.
There are also two online forums dedicated to S&W firearms: www.smith-wessonforum.com and www.smithandwessonforums.com.
