You want to but what? There are over 50 posters from 1902 up to the present day. You have to be more specific. I might have what you need.

Reviving an old thread.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to see the 12 prints?

I won a older The Hostiles framed print at the SWCA symposium and might consider buying another print in the group.

I'd love to find a copy of ``Last Cartridge``. I have the buckle and the Model 57.

I have all 12 of the 1902/1903 prints plus the advertising broadsheet announcing the 12 prints. I displayed them at the SWCA Annual in Springfield. I named the display "For 10 cents silver". I bought 10 of the 12 from Ray Riling in Philadelphia back the early 1980's. They were in mint condition. I had the other two already. I also bought an 1876 Smith & Wesson catalog from him. It's the only one I've ever seen. Today, any one of the 12 print in excellent condition will start at $1000.00 or more.

Be careful. The reprint they did in the 1980's eliminated the dead bear cub. If the want to see what all 12 looked like, get a copy of Smith and Wesson 1857-1945. They are pictured in it.

Reviving an old thread: Were (official) "10 Ring Tips" posters ever done in black and white?

No, they were in color.

Here is an original 1902 poster "Thru the Line".

My bad - What I was asking about is actually titled "Shooting Range Instruction Chart," same as shown by ko41 at the very beginning of this thread, and black and white appears to be correct. Could anyone tell me what the dimensions should be for the originals, and anything else about them?

 

[Club Gun Fan]

Eric58. Yes, only in black & white. There were two issued. The one in post 1 is the second issue. The first one does not have the .22 Semi auto or the 9mm. Mine do not have the red bands on the top and bottom. They can from the print shop before the bands were applied, so they are larger then the issued posters. They are 23-inches by 39- inches.

 

[Eric158]

Thanks - The one I'm talking about does have the semi autos, but measures 26 x 20"?

 

[Club Gun Fan]

It was cut down. If cheap, but it.

 

[Eric158]

So it is a reproduction?

 

[Club Gun Fan]

It may be, but I have never seen one.

 

[Eric158]

Thanks Club Gun Fan - This one looks just like ko41's, but has much wider (blank) margins on left and right sides.

 

[Eric158]

Does anyone else have the 2nd version of the "Shooting Range Instruction Chart," with wider margins right and left, in the 26 x 20" size? I ask because I thought mine was an original, and had plans to frame it for over my workbench. If it's a repro, I'll chuck it and find something S&W with more "provenance." Any additional info appreciated!!

 

[Eric158]

Bummer!

Looks like the "Shooting Range Instruction Chart" poster I bought is a reproduction - caveat emptor I guess. I'll keep looking for a real one, or maybe a "38 Military and Police Revolver" poster? Would you folks school me on what I should expect to pay for either of these (an authentic example this time) in good condition?

 

[Eric158]

and...

What should the dimensions be for a "38 Military and Police Revolver" poster?
