Thank you guys. I told the seller I would stay in touch. We talked about going shooting some day. I think he would like that. I think he likes the company.
My ad says “local professional collecting old Smith andWessons. All sales handled legally thru my fed firearm license holder, Cedar Valley Outfitters. Call Dave at ( biz number)”.
Numbers match on barrel flat, butt,cylinder and grip. Can’t make out # on extractor star. Is there another location I’m missing? Assembly number in yoke.
No provenance but I’ll ask him for more info. I know he had it for a very long time.
Does any one know of any articles or research on these?
Thanks Dave
