Note: I was contacted by a gentleman that gave me a little inofrmation on this gun.
I was an armorer at impd. That shooting team gun is one of 12. 6 are known. 3 are in Ncic as steals. Last one I know of sold cleared 27k. I would encourage running the gun. If it came from a guy in beech grove it’s legit and known.
Next message he said the Registration number is for the legitimate gun from Beech grove collection.
Nest message: Super rare and nice gun. At the end the team was issued that and a nickel 4 inch 19. When they were disbanded most of the reg mags walked off in a pre computer era
