Beautiful gun. Over the last five years or so, I'm starting to get a real appreciation for nickel guns. Was always blue/walnut for me but I going more and more for the nickel. Again, wonderful looking gun. I think I may do that to a 28-2 I picked up.

Not really sure I agree with the re-finish but that was your choice and I just figure that all the "original finish" guns just took another step up the price ladder.
That being said it is a very nice looking piece of work!!!

I know I did not dream that Fords was not doing top notch work due to an illness but your 38/44 looks really "Top Notch". I read that about Fords here in the forum somewhere, cannot remember from what section though. Anyone else see what I remember reading?

I just read in the 1857 to 1945 section that Ford's was fouling up royaly on their nickel plating. Win, that is obviously not the case with yours. Beautiful gun and I am glad you are pleased.

That's purty, the before pictures show a clean S&W but definitely shooter grade. Most collectors would probably not be interested in it. Shoot it and enjoy a fine gun.
