Default Direct links to pix & description of Supica's S&Ws at Rock Island

Below are links to individual listings of the Smith & Wessons from my personal collection that will be selling in the Dec. 9-11 Rock Island Premier Auction. Some of the photography is spectacular, and several descriptions are very engaging, especially on the engraved and historically attributed guns. I'll put 3 asterisks (***) by my personal favorites. Most are Model 3s (Americans, Russians, Schofields, New Mod. #3s, .44 DAs and related models) but there are also a few more recent Smiths from my serial number one collection. You can bid online, by phone, by mail, or in person.
