Pawn Shop Rescue
I was out running errands today (goofing off) and stopped into a pawn shop I had never visited before. On the middle shelf, I spotted a set of nicely colored N frame football targets with a revolver attached. The tag read Mdl 10. Hmmmmm? The first thing to jump out was the long action hammer, then the 5" barrel, then the single line address.
Brought it home and it cleaned up better than I had expected it to. The ejector rod, recoil shield and forcing cone indicate very little us. It lived in a holster, evidenced by the muzzle wear and faded high spots on the leading edge of the cylinder.
Serial # S 958*** should place production around 1947-48.
I am fairly new to the HE's and pre-model interest. I bought this thinking "Post war transitional". If I got that wrong someone please correct me. Also if someone could post a picture of the grips I need, I would appreciate it very much
