I just picked up this awesome and rare Special Order run of S&W Model 66. It has an unfluted cylinder and a 3” barrel. It was produced in 1972 and is one of only 4000 manufactured. Came with original box and a S&W Letter stating the above. Never seen one before but it cost the price of a rare...

Picked up this 1990s M60 over the weekend with the original box. Pretty nice little 38 spl.

Whoa! Now I'm jealous as that is a steal! I paid $1500, but I've seen some really nice examples go for as much as $2000.

WWII Japanese Type 14 8mm Nambu pistol w/ Original Holster, extra magazine, extra firing pin and sealed box of ammo. This pretty much completes my WWII handgun collection.

Is that because it's fragile or because it's collectable? I shoot what I buy, so interested to know why. Thanks

HA!!! I do go between forums, but tend to spend 95% of my time over there. But this is definitely the best place for S&W questions. Very informative people.

Ran across a 1086 in 10mm at a local gun store and as I'm looking at it I notice the price. $1850! Holy moly! Is this gun really worth that kind of money? The gun store guy said it was a scarce model, which is why it was listed that high. He must have saw my face. lol Thoughts?

Well, thank you everyone for the information. This was in the RIA Auction yesterday and I made several bids to win this. Unfortunately I had to drop off as the price was heading to $5,000. Too much for me. Even the auctioneer said this would be a presentation piece.

So from my other post, and advice from fellow forum members, I've decided to pass on the S&W Bicycle Hammerless pistol and instead am concentrating on a Smith & Wesson Six Screw .38 Military & Police Airweight Pre-Model 12. It's all original and comes with a letter from S&W stating the fact...

Thanks everyone. I've looked at all the pictures provided and I believe this is a cut down model and most likely not worth the price it'll go for. Probably going to pass at this point and find an original now that I know what to look for. Thanks again!!!

I'm currently looking at a Smith & Wesson .38 Safety Hammerless Fifth Model "Bicycle" Revolver that has a supposedly "rare" 2 inch barrel. It's a thing of beauty and something I've not seen before. I'm really wanting to add this to my S&W collection, but I know absolutely nothing about this...

So I’m looking at what looks to me like two identical vintage model 60 revolvers in 38 spl. I say they look identical but one is listed as a 1 7/8th inch barrel and the other is listed as a 2 inch barrel. I always assumed these had the 1 7/8th inch barrels and mentioned that at the gun store...

Just picked up this nice S&W Model 36 Chiefs Special. Date looks like 1968. Love these vintage revolvers.

So I need some help from the experts here. Yesterday I ran across this Schofield at a local gun store. I handled it and it’s in great shape for its age. I passed on it yesterday but the more I think about the more I want it, even though it’s not cheap. I have found that HSM and Black Hills...

I'm currently looking at a 5906 PPC and it has some differences then an everyday 5906. My understanding on these is that were made for the overseas market only, so to see one in the States makes it more interesting. Anything in particular people know about this version of the 5906 I should be...
