so no 5 screws existed after that date....should be simple to spot.
Also I presume they should have non tapered barrels if they are the true models.
They should also have the serial numbers under the barrels and not on the cylinder lock.
The 1954 run ended with number K231,255
That should help me....still find it hard to believe that he has a genuine nickel one.

5 screw ended during 1955 for the K frame but they are some that shipped later then that.
Model 14's / K-38 / target masterpiece have a standard (not tappered) barrel.
Up to ~ 1957 will have the serial number on the barrel, cylinder, under ejector star and underside of grip butt.
Nickeled 14's are worth a premium.
Single action 14's were offered from 1961 - 1982 and are worth a small premium.
