Bill,

I am sure I can do the 6.5" so consider that one sold. Let me check my finances and maybe I can take both off your hands. PM me what you want for both. It is hard for me not to want to snag any pre-war 38/44's I can.

I did not realize you were selling so I picked up a Pre-27 shooter on friday. I wanted to retire my near perfect Pre-27 6.5" from shooter status. The "gunfund" is tapped down right now because of that.

Sorry Pete, the 6.5 has been sold, but the pre war is available if you want it.
Thanks,
Bill

My error. When I saw the thread come back to the top, I presumed the deal fell through.

I will take the 5" prewar. Let me get you a check sent monday. Nothing else has changed on my end. Same dealer I use normally if you still have the details.

Thanks a bunch.

Pete
