SWEEEETT! Thanks for an informative post with outstanding pix! Seeing that gorgeous (pre-)M-35 from all those angles makes the model really come alive for me. You can tell that S&W was really building its reputation for the finest revolvers of the era when you look at the likes of this piece. Like DCW above me, I've been going more for the pre-War and immediate post-War I-frames and improved Is, but it looks like I may have to change my mind.
Now you just have to make us even more jealous by telling us what a great shooter it is.
