Okay, I bit the bullet. Internet is good or bad depending on point of view. The actual SN on barrel and frame and trigger guard is 66611.
The description of 66611 in the serialization book is not this gun. Is anybody keeping track of errors in the book for future update or publishing of an "errata" page?
The book says 66611 is D2 H 0 C 12 30
Gun in hand is 66611 PT U 0 B 12 27
A bit of a suspect length but it looks okay (barrels touching). Under magnification, the keel solder doesn't quite look right but if trimmed it was reasonably done. Factory 27 would be a rare length I imagine.
Right hammer is a replacement and poorly fitted.
