Default Couple of finds at the Gunshow today.

1st was an 8 3/8" Model 14-3. Not all that rare, but I don't believe I've ever actually seen one before. I know they were an option and there doesn't seem to be a premium for them, but they've still got to be pretty scarce in the grand scheme of production numbers. What say ye??

Next was a NIB(?) Model 10-7 4" blue with magna style grips. It has a lanyard ring like the Royal Hong Kong Police revolver pictured in SCSW. On the back strap it is engraved "C&E 1257". It is in a blue plastic pistol case stye of S&W box with factory barcode labels with the serial number of the gun printed on the label. AEP31xx. Dealer said it was one of the guns that RSR had gotten from Smith several years ago that were supposedly overuns from a contract with Singapore. Can anyone confirm this? Does anyone know how many of these were produced/released? If there is any scarcity to this variation, I might be inclined to go back and get it. I just thought it was neat. Model number dates it to 1977 according to SCSW. Priced at $450. Worth it as a collectible or just another shooter?
