Model 67-1
I was at my local pawn shop this morning and they offered me a 67-1 Combat Masterpiece for $300.00 OTD they had just forfeited.
Sadly it had UM's rubber grips on it.
Serial 220K703.
Any Idea when it was made?

That is a great price especially for the condition it appears to be in.
My 67 no dash, shown here, was much worse looking when I bought
it, but I bead blasted it and cleaned it up.
BTW there is absolutely nothing wrong with those Butler Creek stocks.
They were designed by Craig Spegel and marketed by Michaels. I
prefer black stocks on silver (color) guns, and they absorb the recoil
very well.

Nothing to be sad about on that deal!
Grab some non-diamond Magnas cheap if you want the original look.
Great catch.

Thanks for the info Grimjaws. 
I'm not so much bothered about the original look. I just don't like rubber grips....****bber grips with finger grooves in particular
I have a set of square bottom Magnas already I could put on it if I want but I'm not all that fond of them either.
To be honest I'd like a set of the old Jay Scott black pearl grips if I can find a set. 
At least the UMs are selling for good money.

The Jay Scott black "pearl" grips are pretty slick if you have to look for a villain on a hot August night...I'd keep those Uncle Mike's, among the best revolver grips, ever.
But it's your gun.
If it's in nice shape, you got a terrific deal for $300!
Just try to find a good home for the UM grips. Some will pay a pretty fair sum for a set now that they're discontinued.

Great deal on that 1! I paid $395 for my 67 no dash some years back. They are good guns. I like Herrett Target stocks on them, but everyone is different. Bob

Great snag you got there. Reminds me of my very first S&W revolver purchase a 64-5 I got 2 years ago for $279 with same ugly grips (only mine is round butt). I put some wood targets on it quick as I could. I love shooting it because it is my only one with fixed sights. I am sure you get plenty of enjoyment out of your 67.

Did you have a mask on at the time of "purchase"?

Splendid revolver at a damn good price. I'd love to have a 67 or 64 as a head-of-the-bed house gun.

Hey, they offered it to me. I don't suspect they gave much for it.
People are strange, a guy came in the shop the other day and put up a Kimber .45 of some flavor for a $40.00 loan.
Now if that guy does not come back to pay on his loan (and the gun was not stolen) they will have them a Kimber for $40.00.

Unless it had been obviously used as a hammer, I would gladly buy any 67 that I was lucky enough to find for 300 bucks.
I hope some of your luck rubs off on me!

I don't think you would touch that gun for less than $650 around here. That is one of S&Ws best efforts IMHO.
