Do the numbers match on barrel and latch match frame serial #? Any numbers on hidden areas of weight? Its within model 1 serial range. Grips definitely not original but look nice. Any info. Written on inside of grips? Any stamping on handle under grips suggesting a factory rework?

I can not help with any information but I find it a funny coincidence. I just put a new wick and cotton in a Prince tabletop lighter yesterday. Much newer than OP lighter but still vintage.

Welcome, from Bradenton, Florida! I lurked around here before I joined also. Have made aquantenances with some very good people here. Enjoy

Yes, sir, I did. I was not expecting an Olympic barrel in the under 9000 serial range. The cartridge falls all the way in under gravity only, so no olympic. I can't wait to shoot it though. The sight picture is really good with the wide patridge front blade. It is set for either a 6 o'clock hold...

Found this little gem on consignment at my local gun store. It has all matching numbers on 10 inch barrel, latch, frame and right stock all # 8386. I figure this puts it around early 1917 timeframe. The only item I question as not original is the rear sight blade. It is very tall and has a matte...

Looks to me like the serial is 3124 on the butt. There is a 30 after that but it doesn't look as deeply stamped and at a very slight angle compared to the other numbers. ???

Looks re-blued to me too. Also looks like a hump back hammer, would be a good shooter at the right price.

Looks like 1K1 to 1K39500 were made in 1970. Excellent time frame for shooters. I have 2 model 14-3's. One 6 inch the other 8 inch barrel. Great guns.

My 75th anniversary catalog came with a 1931 retail price list??

Goony looks like you have 4 and 5 inch barrel guns too. I like them! Jp@ck should be along to get my latest into the database. Just wondering if SV 771747 may have shipped in late 1945?

It was very exciting to come across a .38 M&P with a 5 inch barrel and all original with numbered pre magnas for $500. It is in very nice condition with serial being SV 771747. This is my second gun like this, my other being a 4 inch barrel with SV 807087. The most interesting difference between...

Welcome from Bradenton, right down the street.

Very nice! I am particularly perplexed by the 16-2! You only paid 150 euros for it? Kind of hard to find in the U.S., and very expensive if you do find one. That gun was a huge deal for you!

I have been on the search for a decent Colt model 3-5-7 now for about 6 years. Many rode miles in holsters but I held out for pretty one. I have a "like new" 1949 police positive special in dual tone nickel, so I wanted a match. Colt only made the dual tone up until 1954, the first year of their...

There are only 2 pool tables that will hold their value. A Brunswick Gold Crown 1, 2 or 3. made in 50's, 60's and early 70's. They were only made in 9 foot or oversized 8 foot tables. Best tables bare none. Brunswick made a few models in the 1940's that are very very desirable . You have to have...
