Pic of Navy Marking Not a great picture, but as I say, I believe it to be real.

Pics Here are some pics. I'll try to get a good pic of the navy stamp but I have very good reason to believe it real.

Hi guys. Got a cool revolver with quite a recent story. We'll talk about the gun in a second. My bro-in-law inherited this from his step-father (who was in the navy in WWII) last year. Last Saturday, my bro-in-law managed to shoot himself in the knee with it. He's ok. It went in shallow...

still available...

Shameless bump

How about $400?

How about $425

Will sell for $500 obo....... And I can add cash for trades as needed.

1953 Pre-Model 12 M&P Airweight K Frame, 6 Shot Aluminum allow frame and cylinder Earliest flat cylinder latch. Barrel, Cylinder, and frame serial #'s match C2321XX Grips are not original or correct (but correct grips can be found on this forum) She looks like she's been carried a lot but shot...

Thanks for all the help guys. I've been worried about my "mistake" all day. Sounding like I might make out ok in the end. I gave $200 for it. I did ok? And there is a gap between the frame and top of the grips so they're incorrect. So what would be a fair asking price were I to sell it?

The barrel serial # does match so it's all original aside from the grips. Any idea on value? Is there a market for this unshootable shooter? Sounds like I want to get my money back.

Oh, and I knew the grips weren't original. The serial #s do not match. So I shouldn't shoot this thing? I reload and was planning to work up some mild loads. Thoughts?

Yes, C serial #. yes, aluminum cylinder and frame (magnet only sticks to the barrel). Is this the original barrel? Were they marking them airweight in 1953?

Another thing. In reading just now, it may have the aluminum cylinder??? Is that safe? I've heard not to shoot the old aluminum cylinder guns.?

Thanks for the quick reply guys. Yeah, it's a 6-shot. Sounds like mystery solved........
