Outstanding Richard ... simply outstanding Russ

Very nice with an interesting hammer. The absence of a McGivern gold bead or flat Call bead may be factory original but if the factory letter comes back showings it shipped with fixed sights, it could very well have been returned to the factory for conversion to target sights, several were. I...

We need more detailed pictures of the adjustable sights to answer your question. If factory original it could be a McGivern model ... or the sights could be factory installed but after being sent back to the factory ... or they could be gunsmith installed. Value multiplier could be 5X, 3X or...

Thanks for the helpful information on the 45 mag followers ... any idea when the changes took place ... specifically which color follower would likely have shipped with a 4506 in April 1989? [oQUOTE=KurtC;136177925] ... The .45 mags went from orange to yellow to black.

Thank you Lee, a very generous karma ... please include me Russ

Am interested in buying up to three factory 8rd magazines for a Model 4506 ... but ONLY factory original examples with the black follower and black plastic floor plate. Am willing to pay a fair price but I also have 6rd factory original magazines for the Model 4513TSW to offer in trade. Please...

I have six factory 4513TSW (6 round) magazines to trade for factory 4506 (8 round) magazines. If interested, please send me a PM. If you are interested in trading pictures, please include your email address.

My thanks to everyone for your input. I'm going with "enhanced" Mustangs. If they turn out to be for sale I won't likely be making an offer ... my excuse will be they're too big for my hands :). Russ

A pair of K-square butt grips showed up at a local gun show today and I was asked to identify what they fit and who made them. At first they looked big enough to fit a SB N-frame but no, they fit a SQ K/L frame. I have no clue who made them ... any help from the experts here? Russ

Didn't see it mentioned in this thread but would be interested in opinions of the 92SB and how it compares with the newer versions of the 92. I bought one for my son many years ago. He went thru a lot of my 9mm reloads during his college days and, at age 52, still enjoys shooting it...

Can you confirm the model is a 39-2? If so, an approx ship date will be possible.

I'll take the Sig P232 .380 per our PMs Russ

Nothing but praise for NFrameFred ... very professional ... much appreciated Russ

I cast my vote for totally original on the OP's example. I have a Model 1917 in similar condition with serial number 68379 that also shipped in May 1918 and that also has a lanyard ring that doesn't show much in the way of case coloring. Don't have a close-up of the lanyard but here are a...
