In 1989 I purchased a CS-1 3inch from a local gunshop here. It appeared to be brand new and was in the blue and white cardboard box. It had regular service stocks on it and had a couple of the round "dot" stickers stuck to the gun and grips. If I remember correctly, it did have all the paperwork and the tools in the box. The gun shop had several of them in 3 and 4 inch lengths. I do remember it wasn't cheap, I think I paid about $350.00 for it then. The reason I bought it was I had seen a very good article in a gun magazine about these revolvers, I think it was written by David Steele. I had it for a very short time and sold it to a co-worker who was here while his wife attended law school and they moved back to their home state shortly after I sold it to him. I have had a few since then but that was the only one I bought "new" with all the tools and box. If I knew what they would be bringing today I would have kept all of them.
