Default Orphan Rescued!

This is a contender in an " ugly gun" contest! The poor old gal has suffered mightily over the years!

Serial # 421xxx

I'll try and round up a set of correct round butt stocks at some point. I in it @ $70. It has a few minor mechanical issues which I'll assess after a thorough cleaning.

I saved it from living the rest of its' days on the bottom shelf at a pawn shop.

Best,
Charles

I thought you said it was ugly? New stocks it will be minty.

They are like puppies at the pound, you can't help but love them.

Looks fine to me; I've seen a lot worse. A little TLC and it would make a nice addition to anyone's arsenal.

I'm not that old, and I look far worse. I'll give you a $100 for that fine piece of history assuming ammo is available today. I'm not into .32 Long Rimfire at about $4 per round.

That's a .38 Double Action. .38 S&W, not .32 rimfire.
