Hey gang,
I'm seriously considering purchasing a model 49 and would really appreciate any input you guys have on this
What I know...
First, this is a nickel plated gun with a shrouded hammer. According to my buddy, who is selling it on behalf of his uncle who has been a serious collector for many years, it was supposedly purchased new and never fired. Nothing about the gun suggests this isn't true.
The gun is in as new, pristine condition. With the exception of a *very* light turn ring on the cylinder, I cannot find a single blemish on the gun or evidence it was ever shot. The fit/quality is excellent.
The grips are original, nary a mar or any signs of usage on them.
The serial number located on the bottom of the grip is ACM7XXX.
The number on the inside of the crane, which I believe is just a manufacturing number, is 72219.
The barrel shows .38spcl.
** No Box **
I'm hoping someone can help out with:
Year Manufactured.
How about shooting .38+P from this gun?
Anything else I should know about this gun?
Estimated value? he is asking $450
thanks guys!
