Gun show finds

[chiefdave]

A lot of trading and a little cash coming my way I ended up with a good 15-4 and an apparently unfired 28-2 6". I'm not really into 3 screw guns but the 28 appealed to me and the 15 was just part of the deal. As close as I can figure I'm into the pair for $1250.

I would say you did well......Ben

Nice pair, Dave. Are the grips on the 28 original to the pistol?

The 28 is a N prefix from the 1978-80 range and the right stock is not numbered. The 15 is in the 1981 range and the last 4 digits of the s/n is stamped on the right stock.

It looks like I posted in the wrong forum. Could someone move to the forum for Prefix revolvers. Thanks.

For $1250 you did great!

That's a nice one! The 15 ain't bad either!

Here is a natural light pix of the pair after a cleaning and a coat of renwax. The 15 will make a nice shooter but I can't bring myself to pull back the hammer on the 28.

If you're worried about inducing a turn line, you can cycle the action with the cylinder open......Ben

Walking away with 2 nice pre-lock blued Smiths for under $1300? I'd call it a good weekend! Great additions!

Well Chief, you can send that M28 to me and I will pull the hammer back a few times for you. It will save you the anguish and I promise to send it back. Sooner or later.
Seriously i think you got a couple of gems for a good price, enjoy.

Sorry, but I have a son waiting for me to die so he can be the first.

No you cannot! Got these two last month, and just started collecting in July. I’m almost embarrassed to admit the deal I got on them, but it was significantly less.
