Security Six gun show find

I went to a gun show today in Cave City, Kentucky. I found this Security Six. It appears to be unfired (aside from factory). It has all papers, box, and even the protective sleeve for the box itself. It dates to 1978. I paid $583.00 OTD, which I don't think is too bad considering the condition. I noticed that the rifling on the inside of the barrel seems to still have the mill marks in it. They do not appear to be burnished from firing. This is my first time posting pictures-- I hope this works.

What a beautiful gun! It does indeed appear to be "unfired new in box". If I owned it I'd struggle with taking it to the range vs. keeping it pristine.

Congrats...on a great find! My GP100 (see Avatar) came in that way...with burn marks around only 2 of the six cylinder holes! Because I bought mine for personal defense, it's been shot several times since then! A Six from '78...I'd think real hard about shooting that! That might be one I'd keep clean and in 'collector' condition!

Still though...beautiful gun and great price!
