Hello and thanks for having me! I grew up shooting my late grandfather’s K-22 and 34-1, and I have enjoyed collecting and shooting S&W ever since. I really like pre-model and no-dash guns. I currently have:

Pre-27 6” blued in a possibly original but period correct gold box.
38/44 Heavy Duty (transitional) 4” blued in period correct gold box. Long action but S-prefixed.
K-22 in original gold box (my grandfather’s).
K-38 in original gold box.
Pre-34 4” round butt flat latch in original red box.
34-1 4” nickel round butt (my grandfather’s).
66 no dash with stainless rear sight 4” stainless in original box.
Pre-10 5” blued in period correct gold box
Victory Model 10 .38S&W used by the Brits converted to 38SPL
19-4 3T 6” Blued in period correct box.
12-2 M&P Airweight 2” in original box.
325 Thunder Ranch 45acp boxed.
610-3 10mm 4” boxed.
14-3 6” Blued 3T’s w/ Goncalo’s (No box).
And last but not least my great grandfather’s nickel 32 S&W pocket hammerless he carried on the railroad.

I feel very blessed to have what I do at 32, and I’m looking to gain information and knowledge on a few of the guns I have. I also would like to find a few boxes for the few guns that don’t have them, and possibly sell a few boxes for a few guns that I don’t have. Really looking to find info on my victory model, the 38/44 heavy duty, and my Pre-27.

I’m a police officer and a college professor teaching criminal justice. Firearms instructor, reloader, sniper/long range, and firearms collector. My other gun interest are long range high end bolt guns!

Thanks again for having me and so excited to post a few of my guns to learn some things!

Welcome fellow Ohioan. I'm in full agreement with post 2. You will definitely like this community. Lots of knowledge to be found here. No doubt one or multiple of the wheel gun guys will pop their head in and share some info for you. Happy shooting and happy new year.
 
Thanks everyone! Looking forward to learning a lot. I will be posting some identification questions shortly.
