I picked this up recently. It is a Freedom Arms Model 97 in 357 magnum. Six shots, 5.5 inch barrel.
I got it with a 357 magnum cylinder AND a .38 Special cylinder. Black Micarta grips, and a Mernicle holster, box, bill of lading, and the work order from which it was made.
It is in like new condition, but somewhere along the line it was in a contest. I'm not into the SASS stuff very much, so I don't know all the details. I have been told that it was a prize in a raffle, at the End of Trail gathering.
The action is like a clock, and the trigger is a perfect 3 lbs.
Having only handled a few FA guns, I can say that I am happy to have finally landed one for myself.
A few hasty photos:
These things have THE most comfortable grips known to man........ Kinda like a cross between a Ruger Bisley and a SAA.
