Default Thrift Shop Find

Model One and Half 2nd Issue, .32 rim fire long. Shipped 1871 per Mr. Jinks.

Don't usually like to go thrift shopping, or to garage sale's with the wife and daughter, they take way to long to do her pickin, you know what I mean. I'm in and out don't see any reason to take song long to look, I scan pretty much everything quickly see what I want or don't want and I'm gone outside waiting. Well I didn't go with her 2 weeks ago. She comes home and says the thrift shop down the road has GUN's. LOL I ask her yeah and she said an old guy left with 4, hum?? what kind I ask? Oh some big old Revolvers (Colts I latter find out), Hum I think again and laugh you just pulling my leg right? No he left with 4 old revolvers and spent $900.00 on all 4. Really I said. She replied yeah but there not the one's like your S&W's there those old cowboy types, but theres some real old one still left, like the ones you like, she doe's know S&W's a little. Well lets go I say and she says maybe you should go with us more often! I'm to tried, you go and see them. Well I go and find there was an old refinished Belgin or French pinfire, not interested but there she was (below) nothin fancy just a real solid Mechanically Excellent, great action and no wobble in the hing all matching #'s even the Grips. Just thought of showing it to you all!! and that I may go more often with them you never know where you'll or I should say, the wife will find these old gun's! She made a good find I think LOL
