Found this ad on Gunbroker...

http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=387584937

Very neat revolver, never saw that combination before. I really like the look of the short barrel, pork-chop barrel, external barrel nut, older style rear sight, and the combat style grip.

I am glad this gun isn't local, as I would probably have bought it.

Is this combination of parts a rare combo? Or will I have to piece one together?

Anybody know anything more about these items?

Thanks!

Looks like a Model W12 with 2.5" barrel and combat finger grooved grips.  I have a 12 pistol pac and that is a factory barrel.  The model 11 and 12 have the exposed 'ugly nut'.  I don't care for the W12 with the snubbie barrel, but the gun looks more sleek with the longer 6" BA.

 

Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

This is an actual Model 12, I think these are not the original grips.

This gun is pretty much were it all began.

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

The grips look original to me, just a little glossier than usual.

Here's one of mine;
