BHP C-Series (I believe). Mid-1960's. My wife and I were browsing our LGS. She came and found me, said "I have to show you this". She was right. Original box, papers & grips.

I have 2, an '03 .32 and an '08 .380. Both appear to be shot little but the .32 has some finish wear. The .380 looks like it spent its life in a sock drawer. I picked up a used IWB clip on holster (made for them) somewhere. The metal clip won't fit over my Bullhide belt but grips the waistband...

I bought my first HP new in 1985. Had Cylinder & Slide add sights and some other stuff. Traded it a few years later with regrets. I picked up a very clean 1968 vintage with original box a year or so ago. This one stays as found which is fine by me. Great gun.

I mean Old School in the absolute best sense.

Old school tool. Very cool.
