Sounds like it's in the original box then...label is just as you said gone. A previous owner didn't bother sticking it under the foam inside :( Earl

The SD-9 came in a performance center box but the label was either removed or gone and replaced with a Cabelas one. The PC-9 didn't have a box or anyhting other than 2 mags. They were brought in by one man but I don't know the details other than as you surmised they couldn't have paid a lot...

Yes I did, and helped him get a Smith he wanted to. Earl

I haven't posted on the forumn in a long time, not since I let my S&W revolvers go. My son works at Cabelas and called me that they had just taken in some interesting 3rd gens. I looked into them and immediately bought them. I'm still reading up and learning about them but I know they are...

SOLD!:RARE ANIB Model 19-1 Nickel 4" Combat Magnum-Mint!$2500 This is the first time I've ever started a listing with an apology, but I owe one. When I first showed this on here last January I had a few people make offers. I never expected to want to sell but still thought I kept all of the...

I have here a couple of extremely nice vintage S&W revolvers out of my collection, prices are shipped to your FFL, the FFL must take a transfer from an individual. 1) First is a S&W Model 58 4" Nickel .41 Magnum revolver. Pinned barrel and recessed cylinders. It has the correct diamond PC...

That is an outstanding revolver. As a Texan, I'd love to find something like that to cherish forever. I will never own something like that though as I expect it would sell for around $5k even before you take into account the provenance. I haven't been posting much lately as I've had my...

I don't really care what any gun writer ever writes when it comes to caliber selection or what's "hot". My first self defense pistols were 9mm. When 40 S&W became the new thing I moved to that caliber. Somewhere afterwards I bought my first .45 acp. Since that day, I've never been without...

Thanks for the copy! Earl

A Model 29 with a BAR prefix is a 1989 gun and does not have a pinned barrel or recessed cylinder. Earl

I have 3 3rd Model W&K 44's...the 2nd models can be had cheaper but not the 3rds. If it's really 90% then that price isn't out of line. I paid in that ballpark for all 3 of mine (2 pre wars and 1 post war transitional). I've paid less but not for a 90% gun. Let's put it this way, a really...

Real world price? You aren't going to like it. I sold it's exact twin a couple of weeks ago. I probably started at $600 and also listed it on the forum here - no buyers even after I dropped down to $550. I finally sold it locally for $500 and was happy to get that. Earl
