Somehow the term "awesome" falls short in describing that gun. Perhaps the proper term is "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!". It's probably worth 100 times the original invoice cost? Probably even more?

Neat. Skeeter Skelton had a 6" of the type.

Jim, that gun looks to be in fine shape. Still, it IS a used gun. Would ya take $50 for it?

Jim
I have Skeeters 45 colt also, it is 4 inch model 25 made in 1963 to Skeeters spec. it has the same barrel as the Keith gun except it was cut down from a 6 1.2 model 50 barrel by the factory..
I will post it a little later.
Jim
Here is Skeeters gun.

Those are two fascinating revolvers from a time when S&W was at its best. I wish one could still order such hand made custom models.
