Hello Folks, Here's something I just happened across yesterday, & I thought that perhaps someone here would be be interested in the details, if of course it hasn't already been discussed ? I personally
would have loved to add this to my collection, as it's 'Lettered' to have been shipped to an area of which I have a special interest. It does appear that at least someone got a deal here, as it sold for what I feel was a very fair price ! Here's the original description, as edited by myself for brevity;
S&W MODEL1926 [ 3rd Model, H.E. ] .44 SPECIAL, 5" BARREL, BLUED FINISH, WOOD WALNUT STOCKS, w/ S&W FACTORY LANYARD LOOP.
ITEM DESCRIPTION: >>> COMPLETE w/ S&W 'FACTORY LETTER'. REFERRED TO AS; "WOLF & KLAR COMPANY MODEL". REVOLVER SHIPPED ON 21 AUGUST 1931 & DELIVERED TO THE 'PROVIDENCE POLICE DEPARTMENT', PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND.
SERIAL # 38900.
DATE SOLD: 18 NOVEMBER 2017
SOLD FOR: $855.00 [ + Any corresponding Fees, Shipping, Sales Tax, FFL Transfer Fee, if applicable. ]
NOTES:
1) 'Possible' older, although fair / decent quality REBLUED FINISH !!
2) Revolver appears to be 'C & R' Eligible, as per Seller's description.
I hope it might have been someone here on the Forum that was fortunate enough to have grabbed this little gem ? I will say that based upon the date this Revolver was shipped out, I'm almost certain that it was present during some interesting investigations, & or patrols. I am indeed sorry I missed out on it !
