Ok, I've got the itch for a Model 12-4 snubbie.  I've got two beautiful nickel snubs in my safe that I can't bring myself to carry.  And right now I'm only interested in having carry guns in my safe.  I'm just not a collector at heart.  So, I'm looking to trade into the Model 12.  I'm not looking to sell and I'm only interested in a local trade (MS), at least for now. I know that narrows my options a lot, but shipping and dealing with FFLs is just a pain.
 
Neither revolver has box/papers.  Both appear to have been shot very little and have beautiful finishes.  Neither appear to have been carried in a holster.
 
The Detective Special finish is really outstanding, except for a series of scratches above the Pony by the cylinder release.  Best I can figure, some idiot tried to use an incorrect speedloader.  The scratches have a pattern but are not deep at all.  I have included a separate picture of the scratches. I would like to trade it for the above mentioned Model 12-4 in similar condition.


 
The Model 19-3 finish is absolutely gorgeous.  It would come with the Pachmeyer American Legend Grips as pictured. Trade would require a really nice 12-4.****TRADE PENDING****

 
On a related note, I would also consider trading the Nickel Detective Special for a standard finish Detective Special.

I appreciate the generous offers, but aside from my agency issued bottom-feeder, I'm strictly a revolver guy (trying to feed a snubnose habit that is quickly spiraling out-of-control).
