I just love the the pre, pre 27s and pre 27s in the shorter barrel lengths. That one is a real beauty!

Bobbing goes waaaay back. I have a 1910 shipped Triple Lock with a bobbed hammer though it didn't ship that way from the factory. Nickel and carved pearl handles with gold peso inserts.

The new crane lock on the ejector shroud is very typical of Jovino but not many others. Most others that cut the barrel removing the ejector rod lock put the replacement lock in the top of the crane pressing into the top strap. I have owned several lettered Jovino modified N frames which are...

That is one I'd really, really like to know the story on! Bootleggers or mobsters?

Preice reduced again and cross posted.

I have one in my 1920s 2nd model 44.

Simply outstanding!

IIRC, the FBI ordered some 150 RMs in 5". I'm not sure what happened to them or if they were ever issued. . A handfull were seen at the FBI range at Quantico years later. I believe the database indicates that the rest were destroyed. Also, "Doc" White carried a 5" that he purchased over the...

I did not intend to mislead anyone. The holster did not come with the Aarlin Jones RM. Actually, it was a Christmas gift from my son and I picked it for the photo as I thought it was typical o the carry in the late 30s or 41s. It is a carved S.D. Myres (El Pas0 and has not other marks. I think...

You rtruely don't see many 2nds in that condition! IIt does meet your standards, Jeff.

Those Ropers are "chisel cut" I am told rather than done with a checkering tool. They are contemporary with the gun but I don't know if they were oriiginal to the gun. Tthey are original Ropers.

In my very limited research, the FBI agent purchase/owned Rms and NRNs were a mix of 3.5 and 4 inches. Jerry Campbell's gun posted in other threadss was 3.4 The 3 pictured below are in my collection: Fred McGeary's RM 3.5", shipped blue factory renickeled, Quick Draw front sight added; Frank...

In the photo from 1941 Popular Mechanics "FBI Quick Draw Clock" article I posted recently, it appears to me that the gun he's photographed with is a 4"...

Well, it appears to me that someone put a lot of love, time, effort or $ into that one and then set it aside in a sock drawer a lot of years just waiting for you. JMHO

I really enjoy guns that can tell you their story. Those grips are stunning, too. Congrats

Last try bump. Thanks for looking

"That's Jelly Bryce." Does anyone know where Jelly Bryce's RM is?

Not sure, but it looks like a 2nd model 44 box from the 1920s that I have.

"I didn't think he was with the Federal Bureau of Underachievers. " Sorry, typos come easy to us low vision types. A difference with the Don Mundon comparison is that the agent starts with his hand on the time, then draws and fires double action and not fanning a hammer with his off hand.

That would be FBI, I'm sure
