Pawnshop Rescue - Pictures Attached
Well, I was visiting my LPS today and spotted a poorly stored K38 6 inch sitting on a lower shelf. Closer inspection showed her to be a 5 screw, with the S/N of K367xx. Blueing is about 80%, but it doesn't look like it was ever fired! Bright shiney bore, absolutely no carbon over the forcing cone, and lockup tighter than any of the brand new Smith's I've seen. They were asking 4 bills, which I thought was high given the finish. I dickered with the clerk a bit and got him down to 340 out the door. I just couldn't stand to see the old girl sitting there amongst a bunch of Glocks. She's got a bit of rust, and will take some cleaning up. I'll post pics after she comes home. Edit; See my last post
