If anyone could pass along a bit on info I would appreciate it. I have a 6" barreled N frame Model 57 in .41 Mag. It has the recessed cylinders and pinned barrel that I'm told are early and desirable features. The serial number is N 324xxx. Where the model number is stamped underneath the crane it looks like it has been overstamped. It reads M57-0 and under the 0 you can see a number 2. I've always wondered if this was just a mistake from the factory or if it indicates something significant.
Made in 1975/76. The -2 is most likely a mistake. During that time period most blued N frames were in the -2 series. The 57 did not see -1 till 1982 and -2 in 1988.
