No gun collection is complete without these two 1917's a Colt and an S&W, and you have two fine examples.It's getting harder and harder to find clean unmolested guns. Given that they are very different guns the S&W retains most of the characteristics of its pre-war counterparts despite the...

A fine gun from obviously a fine friend. It takes a great deal of confidence to give a gun like that to someone. He certainly wanted to make sure it went to a good home where it would be appreciated and someone he deemed worthy of this gift. I've Always believed in gifting within your...

I Don't want to be a Joy Kill but the hole through the sn could be a Problem. Yes you got a great price on that second model hand ejector, but we need to see how this hole looks on the butt of the gun. Most of these fixed sight guns were equipted with lanyard loops so I hope that's all it is...

Have you removed these grips to verify if they number to your gun? They appear to be prewar magna grips with the large medallions. I suspect the inners will reveal the machined discs, also your gun has what appears to be a humpback hammer as well. Overall a good find. Not sure what would...

All of the above comments are true, however are you attending this show as a walk in spectator or a dealer? Do you have a table or share one with someone? Another factor that I use for judgement is are you far from the show? Do you have to travel very far to attend? If this show is local to...

Great find at a tremendous price. Your gamble really paid off. We share your enthusiasm and thrilled that it went to a forum member who will give it a good home.

Great Friend and Great Deal, I hope you are able to come up with more cash and your wife stays in her tolerant mood for more toys when he stages his next sale. The DW barrels they don't seem to come around often. Guys who have the pacs tend to hold onto the sets for their versitility &...

For the right price this may be a candidate for a snubby project as I see no collector value in the limited photography so far.

Congratulations on your purchase of one of the great target revolvers at a great price. Outside of the cylinder throat issue which i will not address since other members have touch on that we'd love to see some pictures. Also measure your barrel length to make sure it is the 6 1/2" and Not a...

Bead blasting will give a nice uniform appearance that will if you have a good hand give you close to a factory look. I would suggest using New fine beads. Don't try to use old stuff filtered or not. Fresh media will not have rust particles, moisture, dirt etc. So for best results use new...

Ace is correct with his ballpark figure for your gun. Not having that rear sight does hurt value as noted. However having the original grips helps as would having the box the gun came in. Another thing is that the long barrel guns are not as popular as when that gun first came out in the...

From your basic description it sounds like you have an early postwar Pre model 27. But some good pictures of your gun will help to better identify exactly what you have. Also measure your barrel from the front of the cylinder to the tip of the barrel. These guns were made in 6" and 6 1/2"...

Nice gun Mike and good photography as well. All matching, original finish gun with all the early features as noted, as well as the round top frame. Good find, I hope someone can give you a fair value on your gun.

Don't know what you paid, but it sounds like you got a nice gun on a hunch & bad photos. Knowledge is power, Nice condition WWI guns that haven't been messed with are getting harder & harder to find. Congratulations on your early 1917, we'd loved to see some pictures & a range report when you...

Yes, You got some great deals. But in the realm of current gun fads these guns Don't fit in with the current rage for wondernine polymers. But it's okay the kids can leave all the wheel guns, and blued steel and walnut trim guns that only"old guys" go for to us, we're Not competing for their...

You paid $12 for this knife some 45 years ago PX price, outside price $30-$35 then? Buck repairs it for $15 that is some tremendous customer service. I defy any company still operating in the US after almost 50 years to do the same. The only thing missing is the before pictures. Did they...

Nice early Walther ac code P-38 Joe, Those early ones were high polish and as the war progressed like everything else & other countries all suffered the same production issues as quantity produced displaced quality in everything. Nice collectible rig. All the WWII arms have been rising in...

That May be a proprietary process that Ithaca uses. The actual annodizing process of treating non ferrous metals has Not really changed much. I would still suggest OP speak Directly to Beretta Service Center and relay as best as possible the results you want to acheive. Avoid mistakes...

Personally to my eyes the gun looks fine. In my opinion this is Not a candidate for refinishing. Shoot it and enjoy your gun. Is it the difference in color of the slide and muzzle attchment that bothers you? I just don't know if you can match the colors of these two parts given the fact...

After seeing these two beauties despite being "modern" Not vintage guns, how can any of us walk outta there empty handed?
