I have one for a Model 19 and one for a Model 29. Both dated January 1, 1960. Have not seen any with an earlier date. Maybe Doc44 will weigh in.

The early K-22s came with the gold bead sight, but they could be special ordered after the change to the stainless steel bead. My gun, 661640 shipped April 6, 1937 to Cullum & Boren in Dallas with stainless steel bead. In that time period the invoices were two to a page. So I got the invoice for...

Larry, Mr. Lester's opinion is very informed. Until recently he was in charge of the Pre-War .357 Magnum Database on the SWCA site. Another indication of your shipping date is the small logo on the left side. On July 21, 1936 a directive was issued for a bigger logo on the right side. Roy Jinks...

Very nice, congratulations. You should get a letter and then request any documents that are available. On the Registered Magnums there are usually documents to be had. There is an extra fee for this. You will be quoted a price for what they find. No charge if nothing is found. For my gun there...

Thanks, VM. Have thought of that also. Have a letter about the gun going in for repair. Nothing about the repair or the gun coming back to Potchernick's. There is not a number on the back of the extractor star. Probably it was replaced as part of the out of time repair. handejector said he had...

Don't think so. Found no agents with similar names. Only White I found was James brother Tom.

These are N Frame, but K Frame should be the same. 1907-1911. Think you are looking for concave. The grips you show are convex and from a later period.

Think you are right. Bet those suckers were fast.

Have I told y'all about the three legged chickens? There was a traveling salesman over in Arkansas the other day. He was on some back roads between Hot Springs and Little Rock. Was doing about 35 mph and looked out his window. There were some chickens running along side in the ditch. He bumped...

There have been some Cokes that were cut down to fit a K frame. The top experts here say they have never seen a legit pair of K frame Cokes.

Gil, thanks for the offer, but no. Reminds me of the Aggie Lottery. You win a dollar a year for a million years.

Have a gun that I think belonged to James C. (Doc) White. I realize I am only a caretaker and that it will pass on at some point. Here is my dilemma. Have a letter from Potchernick's to S&W stating that the the gun is the property of Jomer C. White c/o the Federal Bureau of Investigation. They...

Randy, when will you know if your bid is successful? Even better that the picture is of a famous FBI gunfighter
