With apologies to everyone else who has already seen enough. He asked to see the gun.








I don't know why some folks were having trouble viewing the photos but I relinked them to try to fix the problem.

I right clicked on the red Xs and the pictures appeared.

Nice old Reg Magnum, SP.

SP That is a cool looking gun that we don't mind seeing, but your avatar is a little disturbing

That is a sharp looking RM.

Sometimes I use my oil painting of Albert Einstein as forum avatars.

No offense but I like your gun better than your art. (LOL)

Again, Wow.......That is a beauty. I'm not a guy for safe queens (no offense, I just gotta shoot 'em), and that is a masterpiece for the hand. Thanks for the history of your RM. I had no idea and I am a guy for the background information. Maybe this year will be good to me and I can acquire one. I asked around last year, but stuff came up. I think the condition of yours is "perfect for me". Maybe I'll even get lucky and find somethin' in the $1500.00 range. I'm kind of a miser these days with our current...ahhem..."leadership". Shoot straight...........Sprefix

I first hesitated to respond but your RM is a beautiful example of the early craftsmanship which emerged from the S&W Factory. The "Hammer" seems unique and since I have only reached the novice rank, if that, I am asking why it is so different from those of the more recent manufacture? The early revolvers sure are works of art! Nice Photos also!

There is a basic difference in appearance between pre-war and post-war hammers. The pre-war's spur curves along the top of the hammer while the latter ones emerge from near the middle of the hammer. This gun has a "humpback" hammer which was available on pre-war guns and is sometimes seen on the RMs. This is not original to this gun and is damaged with the tip broken off. I got it with an incorrect hammer and swapped this on while I look for a totally correct one.

Great looking RM!

Just wondering what the barrel length was on that one? It looks about 4 1/2"

Cheers

Mike

It is 4" in length. They were cut from 6" in the late 1940s and early 1950s.

Please, someone who can see the pictures, repost them for those of us who can,t!

Yes, please. I still can't see them.

I don't know why some of you are having trouble with the photos. I will try again but I see them fine and so do others.

I am on Firefox, most recent version, I am like Ray Charles, I can't see 'em at all....just open space where the photos should be....
Saxonpig, I have seen them before....but I can't see 'em now
It isn't a big deal...

Must be a Firefox thing. I still can't see the pics!

FWIW, I'm on Firefox and can see all of them just fine.

I am on IE and still nothing. Weird. I saw the einstein picture but now that's just a red X box too.

I could never tire of looking at RM's . . .SIGH
