Thanks Jim, I'll do some more searching using that S&G name.

I'm still kicking myself for not buying it.

The date stamp is 1998 on mine. I have not found any on-line info.

If you are referring to the detachable shoulder stock, they come up on Gunbroker and even evil bay occasionally. If you want one for a 61 Navy then the 51 Navy should be the size you need. The 60 has a longer grip frame so it may use a different shoulder stock. Is your frame and bottom of the grip cut for the shoulder stock? I don't recall seeing a 61 with the frame cuts, but 61 collection is very limited. Most shoulder stocked revolvers have the fourth screw on the frame but the stock I have (Uberti) fits frames with out the fourth screw fine. You just need the cut out in the recoil shield and the grip.
