It would be a neat trick if that 637 had casting flash in the frame since it’s made from aluminum billet.
If anyone has the itch to get one (and has $4200 to spare), one's for sale on the Snipers Hide forums.

SOLD - WTS 3” Korth NH .357mag w/ 9mm cylinder
I’m selling a like new 3” Korth Nighthawk Mongoose .357mag w/ 9mm cylinder. It has 12 rounds through each cylinder. There is a faint scuff under the trigger guard as pictured. I’m selling to fund a thermal clip on, & I’ll regret it as usual. It also includes a Korth 9mm speed loader. This is...

Y’all don’t be hating on a 637, because you might offend the one in my waist band right now.
It’s also listed on 1911 addict forum and has been for a while. This is actually the one I was thinking about when I posted what I did about not being a big market for high end revolvers.If anyone has the itch to get one (and has $4200 to spare), one's for sale on the Snipers Hide forums.

Wanted to touch bases on your assertion.
Well this 'billet aluminum' piece had a big ol' spot where there was an uneven metal "vane" sticking out after 'machining' that was probably .002" thick and a full 1/8" wide. It broke off with almost no pressure when I gave it a push with a little brass punch. Here's the aftermath photos that I just took now (gun needed torn apart and cleaned anyway).
That vane resembled any kind of casting flash you'd see on a poor quality gun...almost like something you'd see on the outside of a plastic toy at the dollar store.
As you can see, there is still enough of it left to show up on a cell phone camera. I'd expect this from a Taurus, but not S&W.
However, I see no other evidence of casting marks, so I will concede that you're correct and this is somehow billet. But I don't know what kind of machining they do there at S&W...here's another example of left over material in the same gun (in green).
I'm going back to finish disassembly and cleaning now.
Someone was taking their medical pot or vodka that day.
To be honest, I could win the lotto and still be to cheap to pay $3000 or more for any firearm. I am cheap and I admit it. Heck if I could have any revolver I wanted, it would be a toss up between a Ruger Security Six 357 in stainless with a 6 inch tube, or a S&W 1917 in excellent condition.
I’m not a fan of revolvers, but I’d want one each of the Night Guard family. A 329 NG has been on my want list for a while!
Hell, if I win the lottery I'll buy one of each......can't take it with you so might as well enjoy life
