Another Jinks letter Karma Winner picked last post!!!!!

[twaits]

I might think of posting a photo of a revolver I would like lettered if I knew what "PM-ing" you afterward meant. Is it legal and moral? I'm not a computer geek or a heavy duty blog-aholic; this is the only forum I read. I really don't know what it means.

PM = Private Message

Thank you! I guess I'm a bit on the ignorant side when it comes to the short codes used in these kinds of forums.

As far as ignorace goes I have you beat by a mile. I am a little unclear what the hell is going on. Someone said they love this game. What is the Game?

Just post a pic

Thank you! I guess I'm a bit on the ignorant side when it comes to the short codes used in these kinds of forums.

If you have a gun you would like a factory letter on post a picture of it on this thread and if you win I will pay for the factory letter.

You can pm someone by clicking on their screen name and choosing the "Send private message" option. Its kinda like an internal email system built into the forum software.

Please count me in. I would like to letter this Army #2 which I know shipped in December of 1861 and has since been converted to 22R.
Regards. Moosedog

What a generous offer. I'd like to toss my name into the hat and the gun that I'd like lettered is my Model 57 seen below.

Is this New Model Number 3 (made around 1879) too early for the contest?

 

[29aholic]

How early

Is this New Model Number 3 (made around 1879) too early for the contest?

I had this question PM'd me by Misty. I am not sure how far back Roy can research, so my answer is this. If you win the Karma and have an antique I will ask Roy if he can research it. If he cant, I'll let you pick a different gun.

I'll throw in this old dog:

I'm thinking it was sent to Kings after it saw service, but there's always that hope that it could be an original target.

Thanks,
Bill

This ol 38/44 Outdoorsman c. 1932 has been around the block a few times, deserves some special TLC.

I'd like to jump in with the Pre 27 my dad gave me. He bought it back in the 60's for $50 and passed it to me a few years ago. I'm trying to find some period correct grips for her now. Sorry for the Bad picture but here she is.

NICE .357 Magnum handyman!

I just have to be different...

I'd love to know where this went, when S&W got it back, and then where it went.

I have always wondered about this early 64:

[smith17]

I already have a letter on this 1966 shipped Model 22 which saw hostile action in 3 countries, Vietnam, Israel, and Rhodesia. Thought it was cool enough to throw in for show and tell.

Karma

Sorry for the bad picture quality, Thanks for the GOOD KARMA!
This was my grandfathers .22, he passed away and left it to me,
It was the first handgun I ever shot and he also taught my Dad to shoot with it.

I only know that he traded a NAZI P38 for it from the war.

He said that they used to shoot pigeons in the area that is now the Giants Stadium in the NJ meadowlands in the 1940's.
If it could only talk...
By the way, I found out on this forum that it wasnt a piece of junk...

Its an original grip numbered Beakert, grip number 567, could it be part of the first batch?

Although I would enjoy knowing Grandpa's Beakert"s degree of "Beakertness" I do have another Smith that is one of those "If only it could talk" guns.

This Pre model 11 38/200 started life as a Lend lease gun sent to the UK to help them fight the NAZI's.

Ferried accross the Atlantic on a liberty ship it survived the Wolfpacks of U Boats that sent so many ships, sailors annd crates of Victory revolvers to the bottom of the ocean 70 years ago.

Where it landed in WWII one can only speculate, Germany, Italy, The south Pacific, We will never know.

After the war these Brit M&P's were pulled from service and auctioned to different buyers for export from a country that calls itself free but doesnt allow private ownership of firearms.

This one was purchased by the Parker Hale corp.

They refinished them, modified the cylinder to fire the .38 special round, removed the lanyard loop, sanded and removed the "Property of the USA" markings,

Nickle over the parkerizing, add a modern front site then sold them back to the same people that provided them free of charge to help protect their nation..
I would say that was a journey....
