The pinned barrel is a S&W feature from the earliest hand ejector through 1982, after which it and recessed cylinders on Magnum revolvers were discontinued. There is no reason to believe the barrel has been changed.

Before you Scared the fellow off, you should have asked him. No telling what kind of action the old girl has seen.
Finally made it back to American Soil.
Cool.
Glad you made it back Also.

Korea in the 70's was pretty good duty. This was the only incident we had other than some self-generated shenanigans of our own cause!

Definitely a 1905 4th change with a serial number falling within late 1919 and early 1920
