Finally got my 5 screw pre 29 a 4 incher no less
I have been on the search for a nice 5 screw pre 29 for quite a few months. I ran across this one late last week and it arrived today. I did not think I would wind up with a 4 inch gun when I actually found one. It is not perfect but it is a very nice one if I must say so myself. It has one of the best looking set of Cokes I have ever seen. I know it has the wrong screwdriver but I think I am hooked up on the right one for it. (Thanks Curtis.) The box appears to be numbered S-167417 which is not the number of my gun. Mine is S-154226 and was shipped 1-16-57 to Griffin & Howe in New York City. It should look better once I rub it down with some wax. I am going to head up another post to offer this box to the owner of the matching serial number if they have a like quality 4 inch box.
S-167417? Let me know if you own this SN gun.

Jim, nice catch. 5 screw pre-29s in 4 " are few and far between.

Oh My . . very nice! . . Finding that 4 incher would get me excited too. You're right, those stocks do look in excellent condition. Good for you.
