Default 1905 MP .38 4th change

Just traded for this MP .38 special in nickel and I'm a happy clam! Just look at the grips. Hard to photo in nickel, but you can see it's pretty pristine. Has one or two thin smudge-like spots is all. Serial # puts it around 1919-1920. I can't say it's never been fired, but it looks like only factory test fired. Slight cylinder line but who could resist thumbing it back from time to time. I love this revolver!

Very nice! I have to agree, if it's been fired, it sure wasn't a lot! Congrats!

What a beauty! I have an old nickel .32-20 that must have looked like that at one time.

You also get points and today's McGyver award for best impromptu alternative use of a clothes pin I have seen in some time.

Terrific gun, great score!
It's tough to find an older nickel gun in such fine shape as that one.
