Someone grab it!
Nice shooter, pre-lock too... :o I'm tapped out right now! :(
I'm not up on the Smiths. What's pre-lock?
Smith added a lock to the frame located partly under where the cyl. release is. It is still found on almost all Smith wheel guns today. This change happened with the -3 rev. on the 610.
The gun on the auction (sold already) looks like a no dash (origional release) with a 6 1/2" barrel. The no dash were made in 5" and 6 1/2". The 5" usually goes for more money. The no dash also had a hammer fireing pin and no transfer safety and a fluted cyl. They had a slightly better trigger pull without all the extra stuff added. The origional release also came with half moon clips instead of full moon.
So I guess that was a great deal and gone like that!
I thought it was a high price :o
Then again I would not sell my 5" 610 for that
Cheapest I had seen one go for was $1200.
Dang I missed out! I've been trying to find one of these for around 1k and missed the boat this time!
Probably worth it, but too rich for my blood. I will just keep chasing my brass.
Another. Non-fluted which is what I like!

Was just looking at that one.
I never saw a -1 before. Did not know there was ever a -1 made. :o
Looks like a little 'dinging' around the crown......hard to tell with internet photos.
