If you can only keep three, those are very very nice ones! :D Thanks for sharing,

I agree that the stamps look correct. They must have been on a K-Frame that was not numbered with the 38 M&Ps. Very cool and they are a period correct great fit on that 38 M&P Target!!!

Beautiful stocks!!! The 144471 SN on the stocks is strange... Not sure what gun they would have gone with originally, as that style of stock usually will be SN'd in the 6XXXXX range.

I very much buy into that approach. :) It's always nice to have a box waiting for the right gun.

I think I have 3-4, maybe 1/2 dozen long ones (including some 44 Mags) that are factory engraved, but a bunch of the long ones are aftermarket engraved. Factory engraving is nice and I like it, but some of the aftermarket engraving is out of this world nice and I LOVE it. Of the ones pictured...

We'd love to see some photos. :)

Congrats!!! Great gun. :)

Very nice (and shiny) 3"er. Thanks for sharing,

I watched that one - well bought. A little Mothers Mag polish, a soft old t-shirt and 1/2 hour or so and that beauty will gleam like a mirror. A set of appropriate grips will really dress her up. That said, hold on to those Pach's as they are nice shooting grips and great for toting your...

Great looking guns!!! I love the RB ones and I agree that those pre-war service grips peg the cool meter. For shipping date reference, C90499 is a fairly clean SB model that shipped in September 1949.

I love them. They are a delight to shoot.... Here's an old photo of some of my long 357s... My favorite shooter: And they make beautiful canvases for engraving,,, And probably one of my all time favorite guns is an 8 3/8" pre-27...

Very nice!!! Thanks for sharing,

"...about $5.5K..." Looking at that from where prices are today, that would be a screaming deal for that beauty. If you have any more like that and want to "scare me off" feel free to quote me a price... :D:D

Good eyes. This gun was re-blued after it was engraved. As happens sometimes, the bluing interacts differently with the hardened parts (barrel and cylinder) resulting in them turning a little different color of blue, sometimes referred to as plumb.

I agree. Perfect place to personalize it as a presentation to someone.
