What is one of these worth? Can't find any current comps. Has case extra grips paperwork etc. VG+ condition.

I have been lucky, and have accumulated 5 magazines for my 52. All at sane prices. I have three steel follower mags and 2 plastic follower mags. I can see no difference between them performance and durability wise. The steel follower mags are the older ones, plastic newer. Prices on either...

Welcome, It should have a "K" in front of the serial number. 375XX would be the same year as my K22, 1948. Others that know more than I will be along shortly.

I've shot both, and yes the 41 Mag is nicer, even with full house loads. It looks just like the 329, but says 41 mag..

Wondering what one of these are worth nowadays. Case and all paperwork, fired case, both grips wood and rubber. Thinking of downsizing, but not sure about this one. I know they are rare, hard to find any that have been sold or are for sale.

Delcrossv, I am very surprised to see my old revolver posted as a picture.... That I did not post.

Prices are down somewhat, I just sold a mid 70's MKIII 6" for $700 in 98%+ with no box. They are regional in price.

Not an exact match, My Colt is an OMT from 1941, and the K22 from 1948. I prefer the Colt's SA, the S&W DA. The larger target grips on the K22 fit my hands better, but they are not stock. The total feel of the Hand built Colt OMT action is better to me. As to accuracy, it depends on the day...

Classic Bullseye load, 148g HBWC loaded with 2.7g of bullseye powder. Works very well in my 52-2.

They are getting harder to find in stock condition. Love mine that I bought in the mid 80's. Mine had the stock/issued black plastic grips, don't recall walnut or wood on the military issued ones.

They are a blast to shoot, and accurate. Not hard to load for either. Mine is from the mid 20's. I added some longer target stocks as I have XXXL hands.

The 22/32 HST did not get the recessed cylinder until about 1935, I would stick with standard velocity rounds. Mine is from 1916, and that is what I shoot.

ScoutII, International Harvester Scout? Another rare beast. You and I maybe they only ones in CA with a 357PD. Mine is like yours, case and all paperwork and accessories.

Curious, any one know how many were produced? I don't think that many but could be wrong. The 329PD is still available. The 357PD has been gone for several years now.

Took me about a year to find one, they are not common. Worth way more than $800 unless in poor shape. OP's does not have original grips, they came with S&W branded Hogue's and smooth wood grips. Perhaps very late or early wood grips, not like my originals. Much more pleasant to shoot than the...
