I have the opportunity to get a bunch more antique S&W's from a local guy, but I need to sell a few things before being able to do so.

I'm not totally sure on these prices, but I've tried to price them on the low side of what they "seem" to be worth. If I'm out of line, feel free to make me an offer. Prices include shipping direct from me to you (antiques) assuming you live in a state that allows it. If you live in a place that doesn't allow it, I'm still willing to make a deal, but we'll have to figure out the paper work first.

S&W "Baby Russian" in .38 S&W caliber. Mechanically good, though the latch sometimes sticks a little bit in the "open" position. Hinge and latch lock up is very tight, with no discernible play at all. Cylinder lock up is also very tight, maybe 2-3 thousandths rotational and end play. All numbers match. Obviously the one grip is broken. I think the gun is in pretty nice shape for being 134 years old. I would have no hesitation shooting it with the proper ammo and due caution for it's age. I can provide more photos if needed. I believe $550 would be a good price. Sold Pending Funds




Next up is a model one, third issue. It's in very good shape, and probably retains over 92% of the original blueing with a little patina and high spot wear making up the balance. The cylinder stop spring is either missing or broken, but when pressure is applied to the stop by hand while cycling, the lock up is superb. Replace that spring, and have a shootable 140 year old gun! The bore is good, and there is no pitting that I can find anyplace on the gun! I believe $225 is a good price for this considering everything. Sold Pending funds

I'll take the 1st - 3rd at $225.

Thanks very much,
