Subject should read:. Mod 60 I have a question regarding a no dash model 60 .38 special that I acquired a couple of years ago, with box and manuals. The pistol came with a set of S&W Target stocks on it, no other grips accompanied the pistol. The person I purchased from was the second owner...

My son just turned 40, I gifted him a S&W Model 36 Chiefs Special which belonged to my Dad who had a long career in law enforcement, in his latter years he worked as a criminal Magistrate and wore this pistol on his side to work each night. I put together a leather binder with numerous police...

Thanks for writing John, I emulated all of BG Ash's medals ribbons and I have that patch as well. The picture I have of JFK and the General was taken on the tarmac there at Sandia. You can actually see that patch on the shoulder. Cool story thanks! Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

It's not the quality letter that John produced for sure. The company has changed hands a couple of times, the records were brought back in house after John retired. The missing signature on the letter is a sad change. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Looking back on his short 66 years on earth he was such a good provider and accomplished a lot coming from a humble background overcoming great obstacles in his early years, beginning with the loss of his mother at age 18 months of age to cancer, basically being left to be raised by his...

This is probably #1 of my 4 most treasured collectiable pieces to me. Savage .45 1907 Trial Pistol #78 tested at Fort Wingate NM by Troop I 3rd Cavalry. No trial issues recorded in the records on serial #78 regarding breakage or mechanical failures. Restoration was done by the late renowned...

This pistol belonged to my father and was purchased and carried by him while he was a criminal magistrate in NC in the mid 1960's. My father had spent his early years as a policeman & detective from 1937-1950. My father passed away in 1979 one year before my son was born so they never met each...

Jack was an amazing man passed at 82 in poor health. Jack loved his S&W's he was a member of the S&W Collector's Association and traveled to the S&W conventions and shows all over the country back in the 1980's - 2000. I'm glad these were under the bed or Jack's wife would have been taken...

Thanks for the information! Do you have any idea what the .22 Rim cartridges unopened might bring? Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

I have a friend who was a Smith & Wesson collector who passed away about 3 years ago, his collection was pretty much sold off on consignment. the wife of my friend recently discovered this set of three ladies Smith's Mod1, Mod2 & Mod3 underneath the bed in her house, I checked his index card...

Looking for original cleaning kit for a 1968 era model 36 which belonged to my father, I want to pass it on to my son for his 40th birthday this coming year. I have the original box and paperwork but for some reason it's missing the original cleaning kit. if you have one that you might be...

Sorry you missed that one, it's worth 2X3 times what the other 1907 & 1917's are worth. I managed to pick up a 1915 in .380 for 850.00, with a 92% finish it's worth close to twice that. There were only 3,900 1915 .380's made. They made a 6,380 in .32. Needless to say I was happy to land it!

Thank you all!
