With the recent Megalodon tooth found in Venice Fl,
you might want a bigger gun and tackle box.

Back when it was legal to buy and trade, I was always on the lookout for one of these. Few and far between with a price of $400 which would buy two 1911's at the time. Good K-22s were $200.
Having raced at Bonneville for 10 years I can attest that salt environment destroys anything taken out there on it, including beautiful 1969 Ford Supervans. It is just as bad in the vicinity of salt water.

IMHO, whatever you do - Don't change those grips!

Eager beats pretty every time
Me, I'd a been on that like stink on roadkill.
I have a 317 snub that is probably as close as I will get to yours.

Great find, there is nothing better than a vintage S&W revolver with lots of character charm.

I added a post about 8:30am PDT, but it didn't get added to the thread. This is a test to see if the same thing happens.

It happened to me also
I walked in a local gun shop I frequent, talked to the owner. Joe has a drawer that he throws the expensive, rare or beater guns he doesn't want to put out. I ask what what was in the drawer today and he pulled out a no finish brown S&W 32-20 HE. $200 out the door, next trip and a what's in the drawer produced a M-36 3" with the finish all screwed up on the frame. $200 again, It's almost like Christmas every visit. I cleaned up the 36, no finish on the frame but no pitting. The 32-20 ended up having a M-14 rear sight put on and a patridge front sight. For $400 I finally have my 32-20 target I could never afford. Love those truck guns, keeps the safe queens from getting worn out.
