Tulsa Finds

Like Dan,
I found a few items to bring home from Tulsa. First off is a pre Mod 35 of 1957 vintage.

I also found 3 FULL boxes of 38/44 ammo too!

And on the Saturday night get together of the Southwest Bunch, I won this at the auction:

I enjoyed my weekend!

Nice finds Bill. I like the ammo. It was good chewing the fat with you. I guess I'll have to get a picture up of the Utah Highway Patrol RM I picked up. It looks presentable now

Excellent score on the ammo & box Bill. I've been looking for a box of ammo to put with my guns, but no luck so far.

Bill,

That 1953 Improved I frame Model 35 3 screw is a dandy!! I don't have a 35 yet but that vintage or earlier is exactly what I'd like for my 1st one!

Someday I'll make it to Tulsa.

Bill,
It was great to see you again, You did well too!!! those boxes of ammo are cool times 3. I always look for ammo but always seem to be behind you guys when it comes to finding it.

Love the ammo Bill...it was good seeing you again.
PS the gun is pretty cool too...but aint it a little small for you??

Curtis,
I bought that in anticipation that my almost 3 year old Grandson will need a hogleg to use.
Gary-I enjoyed our time together and looking at your prizes that you found at Tulsa.
Bill-the ammo is out there-just depends on what exactly you want.
George-Blue Picture boxes, as you know, are hard to find, but keep looking!
Bill Cross-great seeing you too-I like your 45 Colt transition, it sure is sweet! Glad to meet your son and that he was able to come with you.
Dan-Glad you like the coin!
Bill

Wow Bill, I didn't know there were any Model 35's still for sale.

Nice snag on the pre model. They are quite nice little guns.

Bruce,
We missed you! Yes, you own most of the 35s in the world! Go look at Jim Fishers commentary-it is on a most interesting and unusual .22 pre war gun!
Send me your new email address too!
Bill

JayCeeNC · #13 11-20-2010, 11:01 AM

Nice stuff, Bill.
I predict the coin will quickly become a much sought-after S&W collectible!

Hondo44 · #14 11-20-2010, 03:48 PM

Does any know where the coin originated?
Thx,

1Aspenhill · #15 11-20-2010, 05:43 PM

Yes,
If you look closely, it is a coin that I designed and had manufactured.
Bill

Hondo44 · #16 11-20-2010, 07:21 PM

Bill,
Awesome and very well designed! How many did you have produced?
Thx,

1Aspenhill · #17 11-21-2010, 02:29 AM

Thanks, minimum order was 100.

Bill, you'll like shooting a M-35, I picked up one in San Antonio, one in College Station and one here in Austin. the one I Shoot the most is one that someone shortened the barrel to 4 inch and left the Patridge sight on it. I wish I could have made Tulsa but we did some renovating at the house this summer.

Would you be interested in a factory original 6" barrel if one came along?
