Dangit anyways. I saw this lonely old girl sitting by herself on one of our favorite websites. She looks to be born around 1955 (my birth year) or so. Like me, she's a little faded. Like me she has some corrosion. Like me, she's spent some time working and has served well (hope I have too!). I figured I could give her a good home.

Probably paid too much. It's OK though, sometimes we need to.

Character marks from a useful life. I'll put foolish money in a gun if it speaks to me. Good job.
Thank you sir. She'll take her place along side my Dad's duty HD. I think they'll get along well.

Gonna do some research and try to find out if it was an LEO gun. Lots of folks in the south and southwest liked the nickel to reduce corrosion. It would be nice if it had belonged to an officer.
 
Looks like a sweet gal.

Ah yea……when I see a shiny chrome/nickel revolver “reduced corrosion” is the first thing that comes to my mind. Has nothing at all to do with being glued to our 13” B/W TV watching the Lone Ranger with his snazzy nickel 6-guns as a kid.

Hey! ‘55 is my birth year too ! (Aug)

Nice, very nice. Don't think I've seen an original nickel one. But you need the correct box for it.

I saw that as well but was chasing a 4 inch M24 which I didn’t get😟 but I did get a nice nickel M25 off the classifieds. The hunt for a M24 continues

You made me think about soe of the lyrics from an old song that I haven't thought about in a while.....
Don't you love her madly?
Don't you need her badly?
Don't you love her ways?
Now tell me what you say
....
Don't you love her as she's walkin' out the door!

Good save. You are a true humanitarian.

I just learned she left the factory in April of 1955. Birth year gun! It got to the LGS yesterday afternoon and has been logged in (Mark Mark knows the shop). I'll go check her out later today. She'll be in government jail until August 1.

I have never in my life named a firearm. This may end up an exception.
