Description:
This is a 70 Series Combat Commander and it is a genuine "Old School" Custom.  I purchased the gun as you see it in '89 or '90, validating the timeframe of the modifications.  It has all of the custom touches desired on a combat pistol back in the 1970s.  In those days, modifications like this pistol wears were performed by hand and/or on non-CNC machine tools.  The period correct modifications include:

Ported Slide
Ramped and polished Barrel
Guide Rod added
Filed Smith and Wesson Sites
Beaver Tail
Checkered / Knurled Front Strap
Checkered / Knurled Trigger Guard
Checkered Backstrap / Mainspring Housing
Custom Finish (NiTex??)
Other internal mods? 

The serial number of the gun dates to 1974 and also indicates this gun was originally blued.  

I do not know who did the custom work on this gun.  I've put a few boxes through this pistol decades ago and it shot flawlessly.  

Buyer to pay actual shipping not expected to exceed $65.

All in all, this is a great example of a period correct custom.  It is time for someone else to enjoy this one.  Asking $1750
