So I was able to get the 22/32. I knew the grips weren't correct. Check out the photos. I pulled them and someone had used leather patches/pieces to adapt these to fit. My quest is to find the correct ones. Does anyone know what model pistol these are actually for? When I find the correct...

Wiregrassguy, mine is only a few hundred newer than the 163373. Great to know 1912. With an approx value of $650ish, hoping to find the correct grips for a decent price. Hate to over invest. But these have a unique look about them. I'm drawn to it.

Thanks murphydog, I'll await the pics

Thanks Wiregrassguy, great info. In reading I hear about this pistol has a type of Bekeart? What does that refer to? If I purchase this what are my chances of finding a period correct set of grips? Again, thanks

Have an opportunity to pick up a S&W 6" 22 cal 5 screw serial # 163***. I don't know anything about this type. What frame, age or specifics would be great. I've heard it could be a 22/32. Not sure if grips are original or not. Any information including a fair asking would be great. Thanks in...

VaTom, Thanks for your info and service as a LEO. I hope to shoot this soon with light loads. So glad it worked out for me.

Thanks everyone for the info and opinions. It's all great info. I'm really glad I found this one.

Cleaned the pistol and did a light "Flitz" workover. It really pops see pics.

All - I purchased it I offered $475 and they accepted. See attached pics I added to the 1st post. Hammer and trigger appear to be original not blued. Grips don't look refinished but I am not an expert. I feel the frame pic shows its not a re-chrome. Thanks again this is a great site.

Hi all, Hammer and trigger are dark/case hardend? as seen in pic. I own an old Colt snub nose from my dad that was chromed. This is not that. The detail in the logo and barrel are very crisp. I was wondering the same thing. When I pick it up I can post more. Thanks everyone I'll post when I pic

22hipower thanks for your info. The chrome is really perfect. I'm not a pro so I didn't want to assume higher. I'm not worried about paying a fair amount. I want to be fair to both parties. It is a really beautiful gun. The nickel is like a mirror, matching stocks etc. I'm hooked.

offrdmania, private collector. They are asking me to give a fair offer. When I look at the finish it is very deep and clear. no signs that you would typically see on re-blued guns.

I have an opportunity to pickup this model 10-5, 3 screw Nickel 38sp pistol. Grips match serial. Crane # matches frame. Nickel is 90%+. Hoping to get a feel for a fair price to offer. Serial C679*** guessing from 1964. It has diamond grips. Would these be called Service or Magna? Thanks in...

Wingmaster, thanks for the frank insight.

Thanks everyone, learning so much on this site.

Saw this pistol NIB local today. Owner was saying this was a limited production of 500 and a good investment for a collector. What are thoughts of this group? They were asking $1,350. Will this pistol have an added value opportunity because of limited run? Thanks in advance.

Elroy, Thanks for the link. Really informative.

boykinlp, wow is yours in great shape. That's what attracted me to the one I purchased

Were the owners manual the same for the C series pistols square but versus round butt? Thanks

Quinn, Pre WWII grips. That's impressive someone would know that. Is there a book or online reference where I can learn more also? Thanks
