OK, I am mentally ill. I admit it and that is the first step. When I see these Smiths, I lose all common sense. I actually got a steal of a deal on this one.

That looks like a pristine 5-screw gun, especially with the non-relieved diamond targets.
Mentally ill? Naw...smart investment.

While you may lose all common sense, I've been known to lose control of all bodily functions and common sense upon seeing an extra nice vintage S&W I hate it when that happens.

Very nice!! Especially those rarely seen non relieved target stocks.

I think it was Edger Allan Poe that said "I do not suffer from mental illness, I enjoy every moment of it". I enjoy this S&W illness.
