.38/32 Terrier
I've finally added a third Pre-32 revolver to my small collection. Joining an I-frame with diamond, service grips and a J-frame with Magna diamond grips and flat thumb latch is an I-frame with diamond Magna grips in very good condition. As you can see in the thumbnail images, my new Terrier came with a box. It does number to the gun like the grips and I suspect this red box is not period correct (can anybody tell me?). It also had a S&W letter from Roy Jinks advising that it was shipped from Springfield on 3 Feb. 1953 to Sutcliffe Hardware in Louisville, Ky. As I'm from Louisville, that was really cool, plus I used to do a little business with Sutcliffe's back in the day. I put a of B.K. Grips T-grip adapter on it, like I do most of my Smith wheelguns; now to get it out and shoot it a little!
