I have a pair of old Model 36's that I bought back in 1983. One was NIB and the other a Police Trade in made in 1960. Both are still functional and reliable. No way am I going to put +P ammunition through them.

Still a nice old piece. I’ve got one made in 1865, sitting in the safe. It came from an estate sale. $300.00 paid.

In Columbia, SC and the surrounding area where I live Pawn Shops are a waste of time. They're way over priced and or mostly junk. The Local Gunshops and Gun Ranges are the places to find better deals.

January 28th I will be 62 years old. I'm taking social security and going fishing, in between range trips.

Tom K. Brillant and some great craftmanship in the construction of the drawers. Definately some food for though concerning any future acquisitions I may have.

Safe Storage I store my revolvers in a Champion Medalist 22 safe. I use Bore Stores on a couple of antiques. The rest are Versatile Racks, which hold 10, 8 or 6 weapons of various sizes, unwrapped. Several of the non-shooters or Safe Queens have been coated with Renaissance...

$1425??? I'm glad you posted the link. I was curious what it looked like. The "Winning' Bidder has 139 wins so far. I was expecting some newcomer with a lower number. Unless he's a collector with some bucks to blow I'd say that some where down the road someone is going to get a "good deal" on...

Good price and a great deal.

Excellent photographs. When ever I take a old one apart I take loads of photos and notes. I've found the detailed work involved really interesting. They did some quality work back then. Thanks for posting the pictures.

Old Top Break Nice work. You did some great work there. With a new front sight, grips and some work the Parts Gun could be restored. Thanks for your post.

Not too heavy I ran into a "Real Collector" who was selling some top knotch stuff. A Mason Colt Conversion from around 1872 for $6,000. (He said he had two and was just clearing some stuff out). Not the average Gun Show vendor type. The numbers all match on this one. He had a couple of S&Ws a...

Another S&W in the collection I picked up this one today at a Gun Show. S&W 38 Cal, DA, 3rd Model, 5 in Barrel. Starting to get her cleaned up.

Your are of course welcome. It doessn't look like a sock drawer storage and some one knew what they were doing in caring for it. I have a nice collection of originals and replicas that people have bought fired maybe one time, cleaned and put away for decades. Others that were never fired and...

Nice Great pictures and a beautiful job done in the care and storage of the piece.

LOL ...Guess I better buy that S&W Book I love that "one thing"... comment. :) Then whack.....:D Of course I did some real quick research and yep. :rolleyes: I have also noticed several other Gun Broker sales that are doing the same thing... listing 2nd Models as Baby Russians. Good catch...
