The gun was listed in our local "Shopper Stopper" paper.

It was located near a town 45 miles north and I asked my sister (she lived just a couple of miles away from it) if she would look at it and buy it for me. She did!

The date code AE says made in 1979, so it was only about 3 years old when I got it.

The grips are fairly light colored and I think maybe the Armi San Paulo revolvers were mostly like that?

That's a real beauty Em!

Seems like all those Lyman guns had blonde-is wood on them.

Man it takes forum based pics forever to load now and I can't do anything till they do. Yeah ASP grips were always light colored. If you bought it in 82 it was less than 100 bucks.

The price was well under $100.00 and the TG/BS is silver plated. I don't think the gun was ever shot and I bought it used.

Blond wood was all the rage from that time period until the early 1990's. You done good, sir!
