I would gladly pay $1300 for a first year production Model 58. They are hard to find and would keep my first year production 57's company. Maybe you can have your dad call me to work out a deal? ;)
I was able to buy two nice model 58's, both S serial numbers, one from 1967 and one from 1969. They were $1000 and $1100. I am on the hunt for first year or very early Model 58's but they are elusive. The "S" serial number versions don't come up for sale frequently.
I don't think it originally shipped that way, but there no reason to guess since it's easy enough to check with the full serial number. It certainly looks well done and it's a cool gun. The grips are great. Just one note: to me the front sight looks taller than the patridge sights I have from...
1905 Target, 4th change
This is a 1905 target from 1929, 4th change with a 6" barrel, .38 special, serial number 602817. This revolver is all original with matching numbers on the frame, cylinder, and barrel. The grips are correct. The numbers are penciled and barely legible although "14" does...
The condition it's in I would call it "very good, shooter condition". No matter what you do it's not going to be a safe queen and the values aren't very high anyway.
Financially, it would cost you for the reblue and would not add to the value. Probably not a good idea financially, but if you're...
I just picked up some Altamont magnas in black and had them add the medallion. The base grip is $48 and medallions add $10 (you add them in the shopping cart and different styles are available). They are an engineered wood and are available in rose, brown, or black.
I don't think an N frame...
I like that idea and didn't think about that - then you can choose what is most appropriate for the situation. We are allowed two on our permits here, so I can carry my 2" J frame in my pocket but have the 4" locked up in the car in case I need it.
I am probably the least experienced here, new to concealed carry.
I recently completed two days (16 hours) of CCW class in California with a lot of range tests and drills. I decided to test with a revolver because that's what I want to carry. I have a 2" smith 38+p Ti Lite, a very small, light...
Two revolvers are offered for sale here, Regulation Police .32 from 1922-24 and a 1905 Target, from 1929
Regulation Police .32
Excellent This is an all original and all matching Regulation Police .32 (long) from the 1922 - 24 time period. This revolver is in excellent condition and is...
This one shipped in 1952 with this original box. RKmesa's box was probably used because it shipped with target stocks (the target's won't fit in my gold box).
Both sets of stocks were modified, which hurts the value. The K22 was originally non-relieved target, the K38, probably non-relieved too. The k38 had lot of wood removed and a reshaped shoulder.
