I did something I really rarely do. I pulled nearly all of one type of revolver out and tried to find them all in my safes. I was sorting 38/44's trying to find all of my Outdoorsman's. I am still missing I think 1 or 2 in the safes somewhere.
Funny thing when I actually pulled them all out to look at them. I realized that:
1) I had two post war glossies (high polished not the matte version).
2) I had multiple Humpback Outdoorsman's One with radial cuts one without
3) I knew I had 2 transitions, but I did not realize both were nice ones.
4) I never really thought about how many postwar "nice" ones I had. (4, 2 of which are unfired)
5) I never realized how many variations post war there were with the hammer and triggers.
Now I really need to find those other couple of them in the safes. Kind of weird that I can't locate them since they are both prewars as I remember them. I suspect they are buried in the back behind 38/44 Heavy Duties so I will have to just completely empty them out and do a big sort. I have shelves that are guns that I will never fire and they are packed in really deep and tight so I suspect they are in the rear of the pile somewhere.
Ok, now to the hypothetical question.
If
YOU were going to pick which ones
YOU MIGHT sell in the future, how would you pick them out and how would you high grade things?
