So I have two more S&Ws that I am trying to research and find homes for on behalf of my recently widowed friend. I believe I have them identified (key word is 'believe'), but I was told recently that they were both reblued!

First, the story -
I was meeting a very respectable dealer at an antique collector show in order to conduct some business on some double rifles. I thought I would bring these two S&Ws along to show them around and see what kind of offers I might get.

The individual I was there to meet had no interest in them being that he is strictly an SxS man, but he believed their finishes were original.

Then another gentlemen, who purchased S&Ws 'regularly for a friend' looked them over and told me that they had 'very careful reblue jobs' done on them and proceeded to offer me 500$ a piece for them.

One of the other members here encouraged me to bring them to the board, so here they are!

A few things to note beforehand -

• I'm not an expert! My identification of these may be way off as I'm still learning! Please correct and enlighten me!
• My goal is to find the best possible price for them in order to help out my friend. Any valuations you might provide would be greatly appreciated!

Great fit on the grips, but the numbers don't match.
Fantastic bore

Again, another fantastic bore














Thank you for checking out my post. If a close-up or a shot of another area is needed, just point it out and I'll throw it up!

Have at it!
