Definitely buy the SCSW and some of the other classic S & W books, like Smith & Wesson 1857-1945 and History of Smith & Wesson. As DCWilson mentioned above, there are no really bad eras for S & W, but you may find (another?) area of collecting that interests you. Then, whether you are collecting, investing or both, find the nicest examples in your area of interest. The quality issue should take care of itself from there.
