Default 12-3 gun show

Hit up the Kingsport tn gun show this morning and found this little gem. ANIB m12-3 circa 1978. Barely a hint of a turn line, and one spot of finish rub on the top strap (probably from the box). Needs a good cleaning, it has what looks like cosmoline covering it and lots of fingerprints. I gave $500 for it, probably too much, but it filled a hole in my k frame collection.

How is $500 to much? Pretty much fair retail down here in FL. That is what I would sell it for.

Great looking revolver ! Mine is a Model 12 no-dash with a flat latch and diamond magnas and there is no way I would let it go for $500.

Nice job on the 12-3 with box an original grips.

This is a 12-2 I picked up a few weeks ago. Had to find grips to fit the model as it wore a set of Pachmayers.

Just enough honest wear so to make it interesting.

Amazing trigger and while not deeply blued like the non-alloy models, a fine shiny finish nonetheless.

No box, no tools, no papers, but most importantly, no frame crack!

$500 was a good deal on that little gem in the box.
