Less than $300 sounds like a just right deal with the box, papers, and extra goodies.

Looks like a 1977 gun.

A Model 10 Heavy Barrel is always appropriate.

I think you did real good.
Especially with the box and goodies...

thanks will post photos soon

Definitely a good buy with the box and contents. I recently paid $250 for a 10-6 without box or goodies. It was a Michigan State Police gun, so it has significant wear to the bluing, but it is a very good shooter and extremely accurate.

These are great revolvers and you got an excellent price. I paid $250 for my nickel M10-6 HB but that was years ago.

It was 98 or 99% when I got it, but it has been shot a lot since then. I have to take some new pictures since it now has the original magnas back on, with a T-Grip instead of the footballs it sports here:

I too have picked up a 10-6 recently. I paid a lot more than $250, but this one is kinda special.

It's a ~1964 (C700xxx) with the original box, some tools, and the wrapping paper. It appears to be unfired. It has the old rich blue without marks.

I just did not want to leave it at the flea market.

I like it but I would rather have a M66-1 4" in VERY good shooter grade.

$290 is a fair price for a 10-6 with the extra goodies. They are great shooting guns, every serious S&W enthusiast should have one...

Per the records clerk who registered it for me, it was originally registered to the Mi. State Police in 1969, which matches up with the serial number. It's had a few owners since then and I had to replace a non-factory mainspring to get it working reliably, but it's definitely a keeper.
