I was at a pawn shop last week and a very elderly man came in carrying a crown royal bag with a small revolver. He asked the shop owner about selling it. He wanted $300 and she wasn't going above $125. I left quickly and waited for him outside. Here is what he had.
I added the period correct Diamond stocks and the box. It came with nice J frame magnas but not diamond. He was quite happy to let it go at $200. I knew I would have to dress it up some. I shot it last week and it's a great shooter. Dead on at 15 and 25'
There is a little pitting and a few very small rust spots that I cleaned up with some CLP and brass wool. I took the side plate off and what a mess. I used my ultra sonic bath with CLP and then it came out clean as new. It's not a collector grade gun but at $200 plus the grips and box it will do. I put my used set of CT grips on it and have been ankle carrying it all week. I love J frames!
Oh and it dates to 1960.
