Police officer Harry W. Holblick requested his Registered #716 Smith and Wesson have the specific custom features which this revolver has currently.
This documentation is included to validate this along with the S&W factory letter.
This personal documentation is a RARE piece to go with this revolver.

It has a fluted cylinder, a shrouded ejector rod, and a checkered cylinder release.
It has a Call gold bead front sight and an adjustable square-notch rear sight.
The top strap and the top of the rib are finely checkered to reduce glare.
