I've added some pictures. It came with the dent and scratch free presentation box, unused tools and paperwork. The only downfall was the disintegrated flocking, so I bought new inserts (kept the old, of course). Turn line is very faint and no sign of powder on the forcing cone or the firing pin...

I recently bought a Model 29-2 Blued 6" that was advertised as "Excellent" condition. Upon receiving the gun, I found that it was actually in "Mint Condition and Unfired." I've seen all the comments about "Safe Queens" and my question is, for collecting purposes, is an "Unfired" gun worth more?

Yep, another mystery solved! Thank you gentlemen. The serial number is 19272.

I have a Model of 1953 .22 Kit Gun with a question regarding matching serial numbers. According to the Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson 4th Ed., the serial number is stamped on the butt, cylinder face, yoke, right grip panel, and barrel flat. The serial number on the butt, cylinder face, right...

Again, thanks to a member of this forum, I found and purchased a model 681 with the "NYSP" stamp. Not only did I find one, but I found and purchased one that the serial number was one consecutive number before the one that I carried while on the job. Oh, so close!

Thanks to a member of this forum the mystery has been solved. I sent several pictures to another member who sent me a response explaining that my 66-1 had indeed been "round butted". I took the grips off both my model 19 and my model 66 and then I could see exactly how it had been "round...

I received the factory letter today for my Model 66-1 that I posted about earlier. It was an odd configuration in that it has a 4" barrel and a round butt. In my previous post, all comments eluded to the fact that the barrel or the grip having been changed at some time in it's life. The factory...

Clean it up as best you can to look factory new. I had a perfect one a couple years ago that I sold on ebay. I was shocked when it brought around $350.00.

The serial number starts at the forward edge of butt. I didn't know that you could change the butt configuration. I was suspecting a barrel change. I had read someplace that it may be possible that a department special ordered this model in that configuration. Will a letter state the original...

Does anybody know where a model 681 with the NYSP stamp could be purchased?

I recently obtained a model 66-1 that I previously owned and had to sell years ago due to a divorce. How's that for luck? It has a 4" barrel, recessed cylinder, logo on left side and does not have a pinned barrel. I took the Pachmayer grip off and was surprised to find a round butt. Did Smith &...
