S&W model 57 6” nickel I bought at a rummage sale in Big Flats NY. It’s not only my favorite caliber but also a great story!

I picked up a Navy victory on Sunday. It is marked along the top strap only, I paid $700 which I thought was a good deal. I’m very leery of these red letter marked guns because everyone I’ve seen is incorrect.

Very talented smith indeed! I’d love to shoot it! Great find!

I can’t tell you how sad I am about the OGCA meetings not being held at the Robert’s Center any longer. I have wonderful memories spent with family and friends at the shows, I’ve met so many wonderful people and have added many great S&Ws as well. I’m honestly crushed over this😢

I thought the Coast Guard K22s were fixed sight not target?

In all my years of collecting I’ve never seen a model 20 box and I’ve only seen one model marked 20-1 that was an Austin PD gun. I do not know if the box is real but I sure hope it is!

I have a 17-3 that was bought new and immediately sent back to the factory for a nickel a finish. I purchased it from the original owner and that was what he told me. Closest I’ll ever get to a factory nickel k22. Regardless of factory nickel or not it’s still a very nice revolver.

This is just my two cents. I was a table holder for many years at the OGCA meetings in Wilmington, since moving to North Carolina I haven’t participated in a couple of years. All table holders are required to tie and remove all magazines. There are security individuals from the OGCA that will...

I bid on 11 guns, S&Ws and Merwin and Hulberts. Prices went beyond me, makes me think I should sell my collection.

Wow that’s amazing! I’m still trying to reach out to the family that consigned the gun, I’m hoping they contact me.

More information from the letter.
