With a post like this 2 above yours,
A letter and provenance from the Father.
And it is Pinned at least and looks like the cylinder fills the frame enough for it to be Recessed.
A pic of the open cylinder would be nice.

I would request a letter from Roy Jinks, the Smith & Wesson historian and recognized last word on all things S&W concerning this most unusual revolver, unless that is the "S&W letter" you already possess. Do not sell it. Get a good appraisal or two from disinterested collectors first. I agree on the $1000 and up, with a letter from Roy.

M.pieroni, please don't post any more beautiful pix of that gun unless you're willing to sell it to me at a low price (which you aren't, of course).
I agree that you should hold on to it. It is really rare and very collectible.
There is another way to get one, though. S&W makes (or made) a model 19 with a 3" barrel for Walther who sell it in Europe under the model name R99. It is a late model model 19 with a 3" barrel. See attached thumbnail. Walther puts a grip on it that has their unique replaceable backstrap inserts to vary the size of the grip.
I don't know how one would go about getting one of these, however.

That is a beautiful gun, you are one lucky guy!
Xavier is right. Don't ever sell it! If you are short on cash, eat Ramen Noodles and sell a kidney first. Heck, sell both Kidneys if you have to

I have one of this but this a stainless steel version. In fact it's S&W md.66 as it's wrote on the frame, 3" barrel, ,357 magnum caliber, and original grips.

Thats a BEAUTY... Be sure to fire it before you sell it, you JUST might change your mind!
There are very few revolvers out there as nice as a model 19...

The trigger DOES look like a late model MIM version.
I have a 2 1/2" 66 no dash with a serrated trigger.
When did Lew Horton start selling 3" S&W's.
My 3" M27 Lew Horton.

If the trigger was MIM it would have a notch cut out in the back.

Yup...Looks to be a 3" pinned, recessed with a hammer mounted firing pin...
When's the last time you saw a firing pin mounted to the trigger, Majic?
