Coupla questions:

Round count? Justa decent guess is fine.

Barrel twist rate - as I'm not familiar w/that info on this model. I suppose 12 or 14?

Barrel length?

Thanks for your time.
 
round count?????????? after 39 years your guess is just as good as mine. i will say the rifling is crisp and sharp. i know it was a safe queen for 20 of the 39 years.
twist was 1-14 and the barrel is 26" octagonal, shows slight blue wear on the muzzle.
