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...
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...
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...
As promised to GUN RELICS yesterday I attach some pictures of my "long tubes". First is a pre-model 27 with nickel finish, S/N S 109716, the second picture shows from top to bottom: .44 Magnum 29/2, S/N S 238618 - .357 Magnum 27/2 S/N S 253380 - 44 Magnum 29 no dash S/N S 185397. Last one with 6...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
