Lou...I have quite a few 44 FTs from 56-60 and none of them have the modification you described. Sounds like a former owner wanted to break up the light on the front sight blade even more than what the serrations provided. I do have a Super Blackhawk from 1966 with the same modification on the...

Not for sale, I just acquired it a short time ago. Bill
