Beautiful gun... The mid-1950s to late 60s have the best blue....

I have had about 10 18s over the years and the one I kept was a 1964 vintage. To look at all of them from a distance you don't see the difference. Place them side by side and the bluing difference from the more matte finish of the early guns to the blue after the late 60s really stands out...

Found a nice Model 48 .22 Magnum cylinder and had it fitted...this will be my last 18...
