I have a 1973'ish factory nickel 10-5.

While it doesn't necessarily fit my collection I just had to have it when I saw it. These are pics of when I first received it and there was still dried grease/preservative on it in places, and the butt pic is an example of what I am talking about. It cleaned up very nicely and I need to get some current pics of it. I have resisted the urge to polish the nickel finish thus far since it did clean up rather nicely.

Jack, when did S&W switch to the light blue boxes? My box is also the original matching serial numbered box.
