Merwins
I didn't know there was a Merwin thread on this site. Now that I do, I might as well share as the Merwin site has gone cold.
I bought this Merwin very early model back in the sixties and no one knew much about it. I just liked it even though it was pretty well trashed. I built the front sight because it was missing and the grips as well. Had it reblued, which is a rare Merwin finish and original for this one. I just wanted it to look decent because it was so unique.
It's still worth between $1200-1500 even with the refinish. It's serial numbered to the first 1,800 produced and has the rare turned down hammer, sometimes called the Mexican model. It also has the detent barrel lever an early feature.10/22
