My latest find. https://live.amoskeagauction.com/auctions/catalog/id/129?page=1&view=list&catm=2&order=order_num&xclosed=0&featured=0&lotnum=65 As you can see, it sold in March for $2662. Today, at less than 55% of the previous sale price. To say I’m ecstatic is an understatement...

Best to start a new thread from this original one. https://smith-wessonforum.com/threads/genuine-bicycle-revolver-or-cut-barrel.742679/ This came from out of purgatory today. It sure doesn’t look refinished to me. 1. All blued and case coloured components, as original, remain as such. 2...

Mention of this was made in a recent post, but I cannot find the original thread. I had always assumed these Bicycle Guns were just loaded with standard .32 S & W ammunition, especially during an age where dogs were much less revered as companions. When bicycling, this round could certainly...

What does the jury think?

Such as for the Registered Magnum and the .38/44 Heavy Duty revolvers? For reference, photographs of my .38/44 Heavy Duty picture box. An obvious hole in my collection is the lack of a Registered Magnum in its original blue picture box. C C Taylor & Co of 17 Oak Street in Springfield...

These are definitely under-appreciated and are a quality Smith & Wesson revolver that can be had rather cheaply still—perhaps the best value out there in vintage Smith & Wesson revolvers today. Manufactured 1905 to 1942, in square or round butt. I especially like this one because it has a...

It is identified by serial number in the book Scotland Yard, by Simon Read (Pegasus Crime, 2024) on page 375, as being in the possession George Browne, and confiscated by Scotland Yard on 12 November 1927, one of three guns belonging to Frederick Guy Browne, and confiscated from Browne’s garage...

For those of you who are into Colt Single Action Army revolvers, Ron Graham of Graham, Kopec, & Moore A Study of the Colt Single Action Army Revolver passed away on Thursday 06 March, 18 days after his co author John Kopec. I did not know Ron, but he was a top notch researcher.

This revolver came from a member of this forum who also posted a thread about it awhile back, but that thread is on the private forum now. I have a weakness for early Smith & Wesson revolvers in original boxes and here’s one of two early Smith & Wesson revolvers in original boxes he sold me...

My bid was X, the final bid was 3X + 10. And that’s before you add in buyer’s premium, sales tax, and shipping. I want to like this big name auction house, but nothing like getting blown away at each and every auction! At least this proves I have good taste.

I did a search today to prove, or disprove the valuation of a Safety Hammerless revolver still being an under 1k revolver in original box, these being standard barrel length revolvers, and not bicycle revolvers, as those will bring more, and the data was inconclusive, largely because of an...

I get it this has condition, the unusual 6” barrel, and original box, but $4800 seems way over the top. What am I missing? Smith & Wesson 32 Double Action Revolver

What you see is what you get. 442 cases plus 7 12 ga shells, use them or pitch ‘em! All rounds fired once, probably, I won’t reload these calibers as everything in them I’ve sold or don’t reload for. 449 in total, let’s price them at 10 cents each, the shotgun shells thrown in for free. Use...

It can’t be good! When younger folks struggle to even live on their own, I can’t see a country club membership as being at the top of priorities. When we moved here, quite some time ago now, my wife wanted me to “look into it”. And so I did. They asked what I did for a living and I made my...

On the right side of the barrel, why do some have a two line barrel address and others a one line barrel address and when did the change occur? I missed out on a decent one yesterday at an excellent price because I didn’t hear the phone ring. Or maybe it’s not an original 2” barrel? It does...

The year is 1935. The Registered Magnum is now alive and well. It’s available for $60, or $39 if you are a LEO or are belong to an organization such as the NRA. In comparison, how much was the Outdoorsman and .38/44 Heavy Duty in 1935?

Don is doing an AMAZING job! What’s the current wait time for a letter for the aforementioned?

What am I missing? Looks like it has the factory letter as well. $1080 is a $900 bid at auction. It is early, has the concentric rings and the concave stocks. Exactly what I am looking for. What am I missing? Many similar ones, albeit in slightly better condition, seem to bring close to...
