    Two rare snubnoses

    Hello everybody, today I would like to show you two , in my opinion rare finds. The first one is an alloy frame model 42 airweight with nickel plating. It has an early S/N which is without prefix. S/N is 13728. It is a four screw revolver with the tiny little bug screw. Overall finish of the gun...

    .45 ACP cast target loads

    I like the Hensley & Gibbs no. 68 with 5 Grains Lovex/Accurate Arms. Plain base for easy sizing. N320 will also do a good job. Some pistols simple do not accept the SWC bullets. In any case you must seat the bullet so that a small portion is not in the case, so that the bullet slips easyly into...

    5-screw pre-model 28

    Sure, you are right. A gun delivered in 1913 cannot be a landlease gun. In 1913 WWI was still going on. I have several M&P, some in .38 Special of which a few are converted from .38 S&W and some in the original caliber. Your's is a beauty and has wonderful stocks . I love these HE especially if...

    5-screw pre-model 28

    Hello, that is a very nice gun. The target version is not seen very often. Is this in .38S&W or in .38 Special. Youst in case you do not know - if these land lease guns have been converted from .38 S&W to .38 Special, you will usually find a CB for Carl Bernhard, a German gunsmith who did a lot...

    5-screw pre-model 28

    This is definitely a tough job to find a gold box for this pre-27 with 8 3/8 barrel. Most people simply threw the boxes away and nobody thought of a future value. I was lucky to find a brand new set of cokes which I never put on a revolver. I also bought a model 27/2 in the S 253...range (1965...

    5-screw pre-model 28

    Hello again from Germany! Although I have it since a year or so I would like to introduce you to my rare find, especially in my country. I found an early 1954 pre-model 28 with 5 screw frame. The SN is in S 104... range which according to what I know dates it back to 1954. It has the well known...

    38 M&P Model 1905, 4th change. With unusual markings

    Of you find the markings CB on the gun it does mean that the German gunsmitj Carl Bernhard has converted the gun to . 38 Special. This usually happened to guns having the .38 S&W Calibra with the shorter case. The .38 S&W is a Little thicker which expandiert the 38 Special cases so that they are...

    Model pre-27 with 0 before SN 1025....

    Thank´s for all your answers. As I never saw a club gun before I know what is wrong with this model 27. I*m sure that someone plished the SN away and re-stamped it. As I do not have the gun in my hands, I cannot tell what is on the yoke. The owner says that there is NO finish left, but the...

    Model pre-27 with 0 before SN 1025....

    I found a model pre-27 5-screw with a 0 before the regular SN which indicates the gun was made in 1954. The gun has a 3 1/2" barrel and the bluing is practically gone. It has no rust an it loooks like plain steel. Technically ok. The 0 stands "alone" a little before the SN. Is this a Club Gun...
