Was out doing a pre-election sweep of the local gun stores and pawn shops to see what they had that might be interesting. Very few S&W revolvers on the market around here, but did find a 36 2" at a decent price of $275. When they took it out of the case I noted the Serial # J550XXX, 36 no dash, pinned bbl. Then I saw the rust on the bbl, backstrap, frame near grip. It might come off with a little work but then I saw where the previous owner had scribed his initials on the left side plate. Bout made me cry. Gun appeaded to have been fired very little. Hardly any drag line on the cylinder.
What do you guys thing? Is it worth making an offer on and just keeping as a pocket gun. I was going to offer $225 and see what happened.
