My Outdoorsman is serial number 634XXX, first year? Does have gold bead

I had a Luger holster repaired and the gent said lanolin was applied.

I have a 1936 standard not deluxe model in very good condition, serial number 619. It has a very small compass imbedded in the stock which adds to the appeal to me.

Vega makes a nice suede holster as used in several Bond movies. I have one. I believe they are available on Amazon.

I have an Army & Navy purchased revolver that was private purchase by a British officer. Serial #44XX Webley No. 2 .450 made 1883. I have a copy of the log book page stating the officer's name.

I had a 22 revolver that I bought new in 1981. I paid $36.00 for it in a restaurant that had an FFL. I called it a "click-boom." There was an equal likelihood that it would misfire (click) as it would fire. I actually destroyed it to avoid some kind of disaster.

RPG, I have come to the same conclusion. None were on my "list" which is rather short these days. I agree that they all are fine guns but paying (in my mind) full retail is not wise. Thanks all...

Thanks for the replies. If the 617-4 is NIB that may be the pick. I would feel better at $750-800.

Happy Holidays all, I was contacted by a friend from whom I have bought several firearms. All are typically well-cared-for condition. He is asking $900 for each though he my have a little flex. Here is what he has: 1. S&W used 17-6, 4" barrel, with box and papers. Knowing him I would guess very...

I have come to the conclusion that it is OK if I carry, shoot, whatever even a gun in excellent condition. If it is not highly collectible how much could it depreciate by a little holster wear, etc.? In the long run to me, life is short, enjoy it.

All sites I checked are sold out. You must have started a run.

Quietman was born in 1955, was not Quietbaby.

Here are photos of my 634XXX including sight and gold bead.

I have a 1911 Luger with unit markings which was issued to a railway ambulance unit.

Beautiful gun. Mine is serial #634xxx and has the gold bead. I wonder what is the starting number. I have the correct box for mine.
