Recently picked up a pinned 1980 model 34-1, gun is like brand new, matching box, grips, all paperwork as if bought new. The previous owner though I did not meet, I was told by the gun shop in which I purchased the 34 from that the previous owner owned a local chain of drug stores here in town... he purchased the 34-1 new back in the early '80s...gun doesn't even look liked it was fired...had the the trigger polished and the hammer jeweled and a red ramp insert sight done to the revolver. The red ramp is fine, but the jeweled hammer...this guy had more money than brains. From what I've read when S&W competing with Colt in the 22LR revolver arena Colt was producing a like python quality finish on thier 22 revolvers S&W also made some high lustre 34's. The finish on this 34-1 is awesome. With that stated maybe just polishing the trigger and hammer would have looked nice...making the previous owner satisfied in his "custom" handgun. I would have left it alone...though the red ramp insert is nice to have on the short barrel. I would like to replace the polished jeweled parts with the original color case hardened, numrich has the hammer and trigger in cch for my 34, BUT the trigger they have is smooth not grooved like the original trigger. So I'm either going to polish the jeweling off the hammer so it matches the trigger. I would prefer to replace with original parts though if I can find.
Can anyone refer me to where I can find these parts or a where I can have my parts cch like original.
I have this gun listed in the classifieds section.
