S&W Model 19(-5) 4" ROUND BUTT - U.S. GOVT. CONTRACT

My book says that only 2.5" barrel lengths came with a round butt from the factory. Your pistol is most probably one of the Government contract guns I linked to above. Your serial number fits in the right range. If its not, then the barrel was put on later. Its probably one of the contract guns though.
