Is the -9 the cream of the crop for the Model 25? If so, do they typically fetch a higher premium over the other dashes (non commemorative)? Thanks

handejector, because the 50,000 serial number would be prewar, correct? From the naked eye, it appears to be a 5: However, got the loupe out and I am seeing the 6 much clearer now: Thank you!

JP@AK, Thank you, that was very helpful! Appreciate the lesson. VM, Mounted on my 29-2 and appears to be proud indeed. Does that seem about right for pre war length?

Thanks for the info s&wchad! VM, serial number 57,848

Hey there, Have a couple sets of Ahrends K Frame Retro Combat - Round Butt that I am not using and wanted to pass them along to another forum member to enjoy. Top set is Bocote and in great shape. Just some light finish wear in a couple spots from the holster. Bottom set is Cocobolo and also...

Hey there, I have had these three sets stashed away for some time and I was hoping to learn a little bit about them? I got them from an old timer many years ago. The top two are K frame and the bottom appears to be N frame. The K frames are in amazing shape, sharp checkering and very clean...

Added Model 29 4" pinned blued barrel

withdrawn..

Looking for a shooter model 34. Will consider any dash variant or barrel length also. I am not interested in mint specimens with their box, etc. I am looking for one with a little character, but mechanically fine :o Also looking for a Model 29 4" pinned blued barrel. Thanks!

I did not buy it Hondo. Came here for a sanity check first! I think there is a pretty good chance I could get it for under $1k... Series guy, that was my original thinking as well, but what the others are saying makes sense too. I will keep you guys updated if I do get it. Right now I am...

Barrel does not match the butt of the grip Merl67.

Came across a very clean pre 29 5 screw with 6.5” barrel. The serial number on the barrel does not match the rest of the gun. In addition to not matching, this barrel has a slight bulge at the 6” mark or so. I really didn’t have enough time to investigate it more unfortunately. Has Cokes also...

Thanks for the replies. I really like the scope only version, wish I came across that one instead.

Came across a 629-4 44 magnum hunter plus with a 7.5" barrel. What is the significance of the RSR Group/prefix marked ones of this model? I have heard of less than 500 being made, but I also have seen what appears to be the identical gun but with a non RSR serial prefix? Thanks

Something that has caught my eye recently, that I can't remember ever noticing before when examining a Smith has me a little puzzled. I have looked at two N frames recently, one is a private party and the other is at a LGS that I am interested in buying... When looking at the left side of the...
