Ladysmith 3d Model, Perfected

Just brought this little baby into the fold. Shipped May, 1910, she's approaching 100 years old with grace. Shown here with a S&W Mod 19 6" for size comparison.

As if I didn't have enough of a problem being addicted to "Modern" Smith revolvers,. now I've developed an itch for older guns.

Hi depicts,
Great picture. And I thought the idea of the "Ladysmith" was a relatively new marketing tool. Made my day, I learned something new.

Hi depicts,
A great honest gun. Nice picture. Did you do a picture of the 1 1/2?
It was good to see you at Tolland. I really enjoyed that meeting.

Jim, it was good seeing you there also. I didn't stay as long as I should have, didn't even get to see everything. Next time, I'll go alone instead of bringing guests who aren't total S&W nuts like I am. Then I can stay longer.

I thought it was a good meeting too. I can't wait to do it again. Don M. asked if I will be going to the Big "E" show next month. I haven't ever been toit, so I think I'll check it out.

As for the model 1 1/2, yes, I did take a picture. here it is.

Hope to see you soon Jim.

I've scratched that "older gun" itch about 10 times in the last couple years. The more I'm around them, the more I itch.

Its a little rough but I think that is a pretty rare barrel length! I have one and my dad has one and they are very cool! I shoot mine all the time with those light load .22, the 350 feet per second Colibre stuff? Mine has a new NOS 2 inch barrel and its pretty accurate out to ten or fifteen feet. Is the barrel 4 inches on yours?

Pontiaker, no, that is a 3 1/2 inch barrel.

I saw all the small frame guns you posted for your father, they sure are nice. I noticed your Model M was in nice shape.

I just love the small frame guns, and your collection sure had me drooling!
