An early gun as evidenced by the style of the pistol grip and possibly by the serial number but. The but being that the frames for these gun were built and serial numbers affixed as built. From there they went to the bin where they remained until a frame was needed at which time one was taken with no regard to the number it was assigned. So it entirely possible that serial number say 10,000 was being built while number 8,000 was laying in the bin.
