I found one of my "grail" guns. Pre 27 3 1/2" Nick-Orig Brauer Bros Holster pic's now
I found this by accident on a shotgun site that I had never seen before. I was told it came form a Police Dept in a small Kentucky town. It appears to have been shipped in June 1956. I will get this one lettered.

Pretty cool! Those N frame snubbys are just as formidable as a club when you run out of bullets!

Looks like a nice one, congrats!
I have an affinity for those early short-barreled guns as well.

Congratulations! That's a real beauty. I especially like the contrast of the blued sights against the nickel.

Very nice gun, Jim. I love them too.
I agree about getting a letter on that one.

That's a great find and especially as it's one of your Grail guns.
Congratulations

Beautiful. I love nickel 3 1/2" 27s. Don't you already have one with a red ramp FS and Keith Brown grips?

Now that you have it, a new grail gun must be in the making. Sure looks nice.

Beautiful gun. I found one two weeks ago born in 1950. It's wearing stags and I'd like to find some diamond insert magnas.

Nice looking 357 Magnum! Glad you were able to grab it before someone did who might not appreciate it.

Great looking gun.
I think it needs a Tom Threepersons floral engraved holster!

I cleaned this old clunker up a bit and took a few pictures along with the original Brauer Bros holster and cartridge belt. I think it is a neat looking rig for an old Cop gun. Now where do I find a box for this one to call home?
