I just got a 6 shot ser. S952,312 and think it is 1947. If this is correct it is old enough for Social Security. It is square butt with original diamond grips. Looks like about 95%. The recoil shield shows no marks from fired cartridges. Do you think I could get $500 for it? Mike

Well what ever you call it, I have one. I know this is a S&W forum but pistols are our interest so if you want this it is the old style. The first ones were made for the low speed ammo and have the oval checkered area in the grip area. This has a serial number 15836. About 80% blue. I think $35...

This is a mix of revolver parts. The hammer and trigger show some good case color. The one cylinder is a good .38 for the K frame and has the ejector and center pin etc. It seems ready to use as is. The other cylinder is just junky and put in for no reason other than someone might need it. It...

OK over 130 hits and not one offer. How about you make an offer on any barrels in which you have an interest. If you will take them all a new price of $165 includes shipping.

Here are eight barrels from a local estate. The gunsmith made combat competition pistols back in the day. These are excellent condition take offs. Only three have any markings on the flats. The two nickel barrels have N and the stainless is stamped S. All appear to be pinned barrels because...

New price is $50 which includes shipping.

I had one man contact me wanting the ejector rod and ratchet only. If someone else wants the cylinder only I would get you guys together. Mike

Good question. It is a six shot. Maybe model K38 or 10 or something like that.

This S&W revolver cylinder is for .38 special. It is complete with ejector rod, ratchet and center pin. I do not know which model this came from. It has excellent chambers and no damage, scratches, scuffs or pits of any kind. The ejector rod has about 2 inches hanging in front of the cylinder...

It is blue steel and complete with underbarrel spring loaded pin. It is a fairly heavy design but not a bull barrel type. The total overall length is 4 an 1/8 inches. It has a raised top rib with about 11 longitudinal small ribs and a front sight. The right side says .22 long rifle ctg. The left...

OK .538 inch, measured over the threads, is the closest I can figure. I was in combat and I would be very reticent to call a .22, a combat masterpiece! S&W did funny things didn't they? Also there is a flat under the barrel but nothing is there.

I found this barrel today and want to sell it but need to identify it for potential buyers. If you can help it would be good. It is blue steel and complete with underbarrel spring loaded pin. It is a fairly heavy design but not a bull barrel type. The total overall length is 4 an 1/8 inches. It...

I never was good at this new math. Isn't 2.25 x 1,200 about 2,700? BTW gold closed below $1,200 today. Mike

OK I thought about that too. There are no additional proof marks from any other country. The engraving is in English and not in German. How or why did the revolver get back to the states after being given to Bavaria? Most likely a European cartridge would be prefered over a 38 S&W. Heck 38 S&W...

OK to get this back on track. I have a victory v667134. It is engraved under the cylinder latch Bavaria municipal police. It has the US property ghd with flaming bomb lightly in the top strap. .38 S&W cal. Case hammer and trigger and the rest parked. About 85% with smooth grips and lanyard. Q...
