WOW! A long-action transition model too :)

IIRC There are some fake pre-war sats.

WHAT?! Where is the floral carved Heiser that you bought the gun for? :) Great combo S&W-KB

The artisans at King could take a GREAT pre-war S&W and make it GREATER! Nice catch, in my favorite condition. Very Good but enough wear I can Choot it :)

It says ORIGINAL finish and FROSTY bore? Looks like two gouges in the side of the cylinder under the bluing, and no turn line? Difficult to be sure from photos!

And "PERHAPS" half of the Braves games this year, lol!

I saw the j-frame one yesterday. Thanks for posting!

Thanks to Skeeter and Bill I had to get a 5" 27 too! Sure is nice, but I prefer my 686+ Mountain gun a lot more, lol

Added Colt Letter in original post. He was sent these 4 guns a month after US declared war on Germany. This one returned to factory engraved in 1919. According to Mr. Rayburn (RIP) 151 total 1st Series guns were factory engraved.

Didn't want to hijack Doc or RK's thread on their beautiful engraved guns, so I'll start this one. Someone commented in another thread......... "I'm not in to engraved pistols, but that engraving is beautifully done. It's great looking mind you, but I just can't buy a pistol use it for display...

Another great feature of the newer models is being drilled and tapped for a scope mount. I put a scope on my M69 4.25" for load testing and it was impressive. After I finished I installed a Bowen rough country sight instead of the factory rear. Much nicer to me. I think Elmer might be toting a...

It's posting an ongoing auction that gets deleted. Closed auctions are ok. Remove the link and the auction # you might be ok. The k22 2nds are neat guns! Production was stopped for WW2

War Eagle!! I saw another thread on shortage of toilet paper and thought it might be related, lol. (Toomer's corner is heavily rolled after big wins :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2Pqavbggko

That's a nice one Tim! You have a nose for those, lol. As an old match shooter used to tell us, "Watch out for them FOOL moon clips, they'll pinch the **** out of you!" :)

Enjoyed meeting him in Boise at SWCA and talking with him on the phone. His books are great reads as are his many articles. Sad to hear of his passing and we will miss him, but he knew where he was going :) Prayers and Comfort for his Family and Friends.

That was a Great display at the Symposium, beautiful gun! Seems like his work should be paired with a Bob Loveless knife. :)

Great Post! 10 more years will be 100th Anniversary. $60.00 in 1935 would buy you a NIB Magnum to your order. Curiosity vs Cats... 60 1935 Silver dollars today, say $2,500. Reblued, cut bbl, gun? 3 $20 US pre33 Gold coins today, say $8,500. Nice original gun, box? $60 5%...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 44 MAGNUM! Sure has been a lot of fun since :)

Very well done. I wouldn't chunk the target bbl, it could be bored out and a new sleeve installed. Similar to the two piece barrels used on some models today.

HAPPY NEW YEARS ONE AND ALL! I'm celebrating on Newfoundland time this year. That's 2 1/2hours ahead of central time so I can turn in about 9:45 here in Alabam. See y'all next year :)
