    Pawn shops Are Great Places To Shop

    Don't know about now but back then Cash America put a code on the price label. MARYLOUISE. M=1, A=2, R=3, etc. That was the amount they had in it. Also on the price tag was a 3-4 digit code for the month and year they acquired the item. It made negotiation a lot easier when you knew when...

    Pawn shops Are Great Places To Shop

    Back in my NAS Dallas days I bought a Winchester 94 Antique model (case hardened receiver) for $188 OTD at a Cash America. Too many other good deals to list.

    It's been a while since I lived there. Moved to Atlanta in 96. I guess things have changed over the years.

    Any S prefix SN's Beyond S333454?

    The S375xxx gun is a Model 57. They must have the SN wrong. Edit: I contacted him and the SN is S315xxx.

    Pawn shops Are Great Places To Shop

    The DFW Metroplex is awash with pawn shops. Cash America's world HQ is in Ft Worth. Getting to know the managers is a must. Right next door in Arkansas you hardly see a pawn shop because the state's usury laws are such that they cannot charge sky high interest rates. That's where pawn shops...

    Model 27 .357

    Great article. Bryce's 4" Wolff & Klar was pretty hot. I'm thinking, due to the time line, his 3 1/2" 357 was either a registered magnum of a non-registered magnum. As accurate as he was with a revolver he could have gotten by with a 32 or a 38. 5 head shots?!?

    WWII mystery. .38 S&W revolver

    That is correct. Your gun was purchased out right by the British Purchasing Commission which was formed in 1939, therefore no US property markings. Before 2/42 stocks were checkered walnut. After 2/42 smooth walnut. Transition occurred between11/41 and 2/42. FYI, UNITED STATES PROPERT on...

    Knifeless Ex-Seal?

    You can't even walk into a hospital around here without going through a metal detector. No knives allowed. I'm wondering if he is related to the Evaluators Limited Van Ordens.
