Yes, this is a totally original unmolested W12 frame and barrel. The VH shroud is a much later one, and the grip is a powerwood from 1974 ish. The EWK Arms adapter makes this unlikely pairing possible, and adds a bit of interest of its own. The most interesting aspect is the front sight. I recently purchased a set of patridge sights from EWK Arms in .025 increments. I thought that the “next tallest” one would work well, but I was wrong. Eight inches high at 25 yards with the rear sight all the way down. So, I attached the tallest one, and we’ll see what happens next time at the range. I think it will be okay. In the meantime it’s a very cool looking revolver.
