My newest NY-1 addition its a nice one!!

[wheelgun28]

As some of you know I have been accumulating NY-1 and other NYPD guns for some time now. I have been more selective lately looking for better or rare examples.

I came across this one

Its barely fired maybe just a full six or so shots.

It came with the original box, these arent seen often and the only ones I have ever seen were overruns, not from the NYPD.



Inside the box, most of the cleaning kit (missing the mop) a manual and the paper from the NYPD saying it passed the requirements. Also the inner liner and plastic trigger thingie.



Hopefuly your still looking at this and saying wow its a nice complete package, cool

Now the extra GEM in the box is this. (Its hard to read never mind take a photo of, sorry)


This is the original receipt from the NYPD Equipment section from September of 1989.

While I have seem NIB overrun guns this is the nicest NY-1 package I have ever seen.

I paid a fair price for it and had to beat out a well known internet seller (woof woof? ) so I am guessing he thought it to be a good deal and he didn't know about the box contents...

Oh just in case you never saw most of the collection, yeah I'm showing off a bit.

I'm an acknowledged J-hound, but I could look at photos of service revolvers all day! There's something about a 10/64 HB, isn't there!

P.S. Belated HNY from the casino 64s.

This one is a dash 5

This one is a dash 5

Cool. That makes it the earliest -5 I'd ever seen....

November 14, 1988.​

Therefore, it will hold a place of honor on my dash number list. (Until such time that I see an earlier one ).

Tom, is it vapor honed, hard to tell on my computer.

yes but its very very lightly done.

Still has quite a bit of gloss to it.

An ultra rare transitional 64 NY-1

Awesome find. It's got to be rare to find a LEO- issued gun with box & papers.

It looks like Cousin Eddie & his brood snuck into your family picture. You can see em on the right, the ones with the cylinder release that goes in instead of forward

Gee, Many of those guns have de-spurred hammers and are most likely DAO. Yet folks have taken the 637 Wyatt to task because it is set up in that manner: despurred, DAO. Wonder who has more experience in this area?

P.S. To the OP: Be forewarned. If you try to sell this new gem ( and it IS a gem), the prospective buyer will criticize it and say, "The cleaning mop is missing." Been there, heard things like that.

Of course they will! Actually that will be far down the list. They'll start with something like "that's not an original NY-1, blah blah blah..,"

Appreciate the insight! So I'm not the only one who is expected to give away his guns for virtually nothing...

Oh yeah. Of course the guy on the other side of the table/counter will tell you with a straight face how his copper-plated .44 HE 2nd Model with the 3 & 31/64 barrel, chopped trigger guard, studded turquoise stocks, and Canadian penny front sight is a factory original special-order for Pancho Villa.

I am in the mid $500 range

Shipping, transfer etc all adds up

I wonder what Jack would have resold it for?
