There is a popular Sheriff out west that has a youTube channel and all he films is him pulling people over for left lane camping. I think Interstate 40 runs through his county. He never gives tickets, but he tries to educate drivers to move over unless you are passing.

They are made in Thailand...I have an identical set in my grip box, except mine are a lighter more reddish color. $50 or less on Ebay usually.

The top grips are all Altamonts

I would say not necessarily...If you buy a $200 beater gun and do a HOME refinish on it, it will only help the value not hurt the value, because it was only worth $200 to begin with. I have done this with three guns, a $100 Bersa and Rossi and Taurus. All turned out worth more than the initial...

I think we hit 90 today, but that's a little low for us....Overcast and showers on and off.

Service records are OK to try and get, but backtracking the other way helps too. Ensign Fondren appears to have been commissioned in November 1942. This is from the "Greensboro Record", November 23rd 1942. It has many tidbits as to where to start including the college he graduated from and when...

I have another Victory that I know is former NYPD, but I haven't lettered it either....I am going to send that one off.

I have V159236 that I know went to a California Police Dept during the war, but I don't know which one?...If it was LAPD or SFPD, it would be worth the letter, but not if it's somewhere like Rattlesnake Hole CA near the Oregon border.

I have a decent set of hollow ground gunsmith screwdrivers and I avoid taking my own off, much less someone else's.

Get ready for a cancellation letter following this. I had the same issue, (on a smaller scale), with Tennessee Farm Bureau. This was 20+ years ago...They finally paid for my hail damaged roof and I got a cancellation letter a few weeks later. I went with Allstate for a few years and then they...

Without getting S&W reference material out, probably late 43- early 1944 ship date..Looks like honest original condition, sans grips. Possibly a DSC, (Defense Supplies Corporation), gun for police or plant guards. I would guess $500-$700 retail with nice correct grips...This is based on auction...

Funny, I knew a former University of Tennessee football player and then a UT coach...He owned a small concrete company after leaving his coaching "career". He said to me one time, he said "Melvin, did you know that there are two kinds of UT football coaches", I said "Really, what do you...

I actually did buy not one, but THREE of these buses from the state of Tennessee and resold all for a profit. I sold one, (GMC), to a co-worker to remodel as a camper. I sold one on Ebay, (Chevrolet), to a guy in Arkansas to use as a camper. That guy rode a motorcycle from Little Rock to...

I remember this would occasionally happen with classic Ford FE engines back in the day... Sometimes the fuel pump would work it's way loose from the engine and in turn, wallow the threads out in the block, (after being re-tightened several times). I remember a really sharp mechanic figured out...

I don't wish him any ill will or any will one way or another really... I even remember him as a cast member in the original Mission Impossible series with Peter Graves, Martin Landau and Leonard Nimoy, (which I liked that series a lot). What I don't care for is someone using their fame in...

Not a fan of him personally....Typical Hollywood liberal who uses a saddle and a mustache to voice his opinions about who to vote for. That's always a good reason to not get constitutional nor social advice from someone who reads lines for a living.

I doubt that 99.58976% of sellers would allow a disassembly of a S&W revolver, (including sideplate), in an inspection period... I wouldn't.

Very nice Victory....I love the way the grips fit the butt of the gun. I had a marked 1911A1/holster set once and I had some luck by just Googling the name, Find-A-Grave and I then googled a son and daughter. I got a picture from the daughter. I also did the exact thing with a WW2 Japanese...

That's not a Navy gun and the number that you quoted doesn't match what you showed in the pic....It looks like you might have accidentally inverted the first two numerals.

How about a pic of that? I'd be interested to see that one.
