I've been reading on your site, and just want to say that it's very interesting! Just got finished reading about the search you did regarding the gun that John Dillinger had on him the night he was killed. I love things of historical significance, and just wanted to thank you for such an...

Wow! Simply stunning.

My apologies to Diamonback68 and anyone else I may have offended in this thread. I guess I just picked up the wrong vibe from your post, and didn't take it in the spirit of which it was made. Again, my apologies. Hope you have a happy and prosperous new year.

Skeezix, Thanks so much for the quick, and very helpful reply. I appreciate it very much. I'll try and get some pics of it up as soon as I can. It does have a small knob on the end of the ejector rod as you mentioned. I'll check later today for the number on the inside of the grip. They...

Hi all, Sorry to have to ask, but I have no other means of finding out. I have a S&W revolver I'd like to find out any info about. I'd appreciate finding out approximately how old it is. The serial number on the bottom of the butt is S 927xxx. The same number is also stamped on the inside face...
