Man I was bidding on the auction mentioned in post #1 but the bidding war went beyond what a used no box/papers 3" CS-1 is worth to me. I was very fortunate though because as a result I managed to find something even better (well to me anyways) I just scored a Birdsong 3" 681 PC W/Case and moon clips. It will be my first revolver, can't wait to get it!

I still want a nice pre-lock SS 3" 686, there is a gun show around here September 17th and I'll be on the prowl.
