1) Model 57 .41 Magnum. 6" barrel, has been Mag-Na-Ported. S prefix, shipped in May of 1966 per Dr. Jinks. Full target options with TT, TH, RR/WO. Sorry, the "Cokes" and Presentation Case were long gone before I bought the gun. Gun only, no box or papers, etc. The stocks are beautiful Goncalo Alves Smooth Target Stocks.
Excellent mechanically, bright, sharp bore. Doesn't look to have had many rounds through it. One spot of pitting on the cylinder, I suspect from laying in the Presentation Case. See photos. Otherwise it has beautiful, rich bluing, no buggered screws or curling at the top of the sideplate seam. Barely visible turn line. Anything that looks like wear is oil smears or glare. I was going to have this one made into a Jovino Effector and never got around to it. Again, THE GUN HAS BEEN MAG-NA-PORTED.
Price: $825 Shipped & Insured to lower 48 States. C&R Eligible
2) .38 M&P Snubby, 2" barrel. C Prefix, shipped in December 1949 per Dr. Jinks. Fishhook hammer, short action. Excellent mechanically, bright sharp bore. All matching numbers including Diamond Magna Stocks. Slight traces of holster wear at muzzle, top of half moon sight and cylinder edges. Screws are unbuggered. I'd say the blueing is 95% or better. Includes the S&W grip adapter.
This is a cool old gat.

All Forum rules apply.
Please note the following: I have a valid Type 03 C&R license and will be shipping the guns to you via FedEx Next Day Air per their rules if you have a C&R license or to your designated Type 01 FFL. I do not have a friendly local FFL who will put the gun in a Priority Mail box and ship it for $25. Please make sure that your FFL will accept the gun from a non-Type 01 C&R licensee. If I ship the gun and it is returned to me because the FFL will not accept it I WILL NOT refund ANY of the shipping costs.
Note: An "I'll take it" trumps someone asking questions and thinking about it.
3 Day inspection period after receipt. These are both nice guns. Please feel free to ask questions. I have a couple of extra photos of each gun.
PRICES ARE FIRM.
