I bought mine direct from Walt Johnson TTn in March of 04, I'd assume it was Manufactured in 03
So the assumption it is 10 years old ...it has been flawless, Walt installed lightened springs & an oversize bead.
I even asked him to hand select the Stock for some figure , he did not disappoint me.
The only thing is it was about 2 years later he offered US applied Case Coloring to the locks for a short time.
I did emery down the sharp spurs on the hammers, they would de-hide you pretty good.
Bluing has held up very well, and it has no rust, on steady diet of AAP Clean Shot and an occasional box or 2 of store bought.
