Just a quick note on some auction results from today

Among the 30 some guns I bought today, mostly for resale were a couple of keepers

I got an early, post war 38 M&P, with a 2" bbl, original grips and appears unfired it is C26xxx, blue is 100%. It cost me $275. As I was exploring through the box lots I spotted a gold box among the other boox of boxes and the box numbered to the gun I bought. I paid $66 for all the boxes. So it put me in the gun w both and cleaning kit for $341

I also got a 100% Model 1905 in the original maroon hinged box with paperwork for $495, it is 558xxx.

Then in one of the last box lots containing grips like Hogues and Pachmayrs and other various grips, was a gorgeous set of pre war magnas. Unfortunately, someone else may have realized what they were and I had to pay $440 for the lot. I hope to sell some grips and recoup my investment. I wonder what happened to the gun they belonged to. The sn on the grips is 47135

It's been a long day and it's time to turn in

Sounds like a good day.

*yawn*





Just BB... Waiting patiently for pics....

I bought that Colt New Service .455 Eley for $200. We shoulda met. That S&W 1917 with pouches and (wrong) holster was a real shame with the rust. Nice grips on it though. That 3in Mod.66 I was hoping for went way too high at over $600. Shoulda grabbed some of those Mod.19s that went early for approx.$300ea.

That was a nice deal on the 455, I agree that the 66 went way too high. I was happy with the stuff I got, now I have about 20 plus guns that I will sell

Heading to thge shore house this morning, will post pics later today

Gary, sounds like you did very well. Is the 2" gun round or square butt? John

Those grips are on their way to Kansas today by Priority Mail. I found the owner of the gun that they numbered to and he was thrilled to get them. I was bidding on the 455 and the boxed pre 27 but I thought that they went too high, especially the 455 in the condition it was in and that it had the wrong grips. Is it still in 455 or was it converted?

In Hatfield PA

Square butt. I will get some pics posted soon

still in 455

may be they where to much for you, where are you going to find a pre model 27 with a numbered gold box with the tool kit? just about all 455 have been converted to 45acp, so to find a real one isn't easy. IMHO...

PS last time i looked there not making anymore of them.
