    I Got My Birth Year Gun

    That's a nice M28. Nice to have a correct box. I see the tools and manual as well. I have a M28 reasonably close at S 191370 but no box or docs. Rod

    Correct Box for Model 41 sn 79300

    I bought a Bangor Punta dark blue box for my M41 sn 79300. Would this be correct for the serial number? Mine has the cocking indicator. Includes the manual. Regards: Rod

    Grand pa's gun???

    If it was my gun I would only shoot 38 S&W in it as most of the 5" Victories converted in England only had the cylinder holes lengthened for the longer 38 special cartridge.

    What turned out to be the worst gun you've ever owned ???

    When I was quite young, in the early 1970's, I bought a collection of firearms, older Winchester shotguns and rifles, and in the group was a H&R Defender 5 shot break in 38 S&W. This thing was the worst excuse for a revolver I ever saw; loose, stripped thread, out of time. Was able to sell it...

    Is this the original finish? M28-2

    As others have said, it appears original to me. I have a 4" 28-2 and a 6" 28-0 with the same dull finish.

    Which Model 27 to add to the collection?

    Here's my three. They're all 5 screw pre-model 27's; 8 3/8", 6 " and a 5" wearing Walnut Cokes. Real nice to shoot. .

    Model 29 and 629 Why the popularity?

    I only have two M29's. A 6 1/2" wearing Rosewood Cokes and 4" with Walnut Targets. Reloading is the key and quite economical with SWC. .

    Smith & Wesson MK II second edition 44 spl

    Never did get the serial number. There was, I believe, 4 vintage S&W revolvers he had that sold right off the bat. Rod

    Smith & Wesson MK II second edition 44 spl

    Jim: My offer to purchase hinged on a few issues I was concerned about, the plum color on the cylinder and confirmation on the stocks being numbered to the gun. Another issue was the lack of a S&W crest on the sideplate. I have other S&W revolvers with a smaller crest on the left side under the...

    I sent the seller a pm that I'd take it but someone beat me to it. Oh well. Rod

    Smith & Wesson MK II second edition 44 spl

    I concur with John Claydon as I dealt with the seller a number of years back. I sold him a late 1950's M27 and he was great to deal with and lately he's had some very nice S&W revolvers for sale. The reason I asked about the 44 spl and the premium over a .455 is he has one of them for sale as...
