Default middle aged Smiths?

Just wondering if something in particular went downhill during that period.

I'm with you Josh. Everyone here seems to be cutting off their "best year" eras at 1960 or 1961. So is my 1962 model 19-2 just chopped liver?

I have no real oldies to compare to so I will continue living with my P&R revolvers from the 60s and 70s in ignorant bliss.
