"That sounds about two years too early to be a .357"

Of course it is. But, apparently, serial numbers with the Shooting Masters are a bit squirrley.

There's at least one thread here at TFL discussing that fact.

My guess is it dates from 1937 to 1940.

And holy hell... something just dawned on me... I don't think that can be a Shooting Master at all.

Shooting Masters had adjustable sights. This one... doesn't.

I think I'll pass.
