I had this exact surgery done in 2019. Cost me $100 per eye. Dome about 4 months apart. I know have 20/20 in both eyes, for distance. I go to the dollar store and buy a few pair of "cheaters" for reading, close up work etc. They last about 6 months or so before I break them but no big deal...

What a beautiful gun. I've got one that shipped 5-1-29, S# 1132. Went to a hardware store and sold to them for a whopping $20.85 Mine is not as nice as yours but it has the same kind of box and interior. They are a lot of fun to shoot. When I take mine to the range I routinely get reminded...

These transitional were made 1946 to 1950. Serial number range is S62496 to S75206 So even though S75415 is a bit out of the range it may still be a transitional model. Those grips look like sharp shoulder and would have been on late production Transitionals. They started in 1948 and...

Good Evening from Communist Washington State A warm welcome from Democratic Peoples Republic of Oregon. Stick around, a great bunch of folks around here.

Factory Refinish As long as you know you will not get the same blue color or anything close to it or quality workmanship that was originally applied to your revolver, a factory refinish will be ok. There are a couple of firms that can do a much better job, at a higher price of course.

14-3 Another way to look at it might be, a model 14 is a very accurate target revolver The addition of a box, especially if it is the original box, hopefully with tools, docs etc probably adds $100 + dollars to the value and if it is a documented factory SAO that might even add more value...

Did you use your 66-2 when you robbed the LGS of that beautiful 19-3? In my neck of the woods, that is a very good price.

Model 10 HB I've got a 10 ND that is a HB. Roy says it left the factory in 1960. I can't remember the exact month.

Bodyguard

K22 outdoorsman I have 638412, shipped in Sept of 1931. Gold bead front sight, single screw rear sight, all numbers matching including grips. Probably 97% condition

5th Edition I got mine, from Amazon, about 1/2 hour ago.

LC Smith Sure do appreciate all of your great information. I just looked over the gun again and I think you nailed the production year correctly. This is what I found. Top of right barrel is marked LC Smith Ideal Grade Top of left barrel is marked Hunter Arms Co Inc M'F'R'S Fulton NY USA...

Just acquired my very first SS. It's an ideal grade, London Steel 30" full choke barrels, 2 triggers. I know next to nothing about these shotguns. Was told it takes 2 1/2" shells but then read all of the SS are chambered for 2 3/4" shells. It has a serial number of RE56836 Would really like...

K38 CM You snagged a real nice one. Can't tell exactly from the photo but looks like this one has the .500 target hammer. Those sharp shoulder magnas ain't too shabby either. That style went away sometime in 1952 Good honest wear, can't beat that. Enjoy

67-1 Welcome from The Democratic Peoples Republic Of Oregon I too have a 1st year 67. Fantastic shooter. I know you're going to enjoy yours.
