I am still going to send away for a letter to see if I get the same response as the other gentlemen. I would like to know I'd this one was sent to distributors or sent overseas and brought back somehow. It has no import marks for sure.

Ya I saw that one but very possible. I remember when CZ surpluses out their Turkish contract marked frame

You are absolutely right about the agency issue, its the same as my Persian Mausers and the only reason I got it is as noted above, it fits a niche in my collection. Thanks for the scan of the roy jinks letter, I have been debating whether to send in for one but suspect all I am going to get...

Yes thats exactly why I got it, to go with my 98/29, 49, and a weird midlength I picked up. It wouldnt have been as valuable to me (and even then as noted I didnt pay crazy money) if it didnt fit a subcollection theme I have. All in Now all I need is a Model 30 saddle ring and a persian...

Yes the photo in the OP's post is my gun and was taken off another website. Its Iranian, S&W sold a fairly large shipment (10,000+) to Iran before the fall of the Shah. Unfortuantely, beyond the history posted by the others, thats about all I know. Came out of a dealer in the South of all...

Boy I would have liked to have had one to pair with the below! Its not a special edition, but one of 7000 shipped to the Shah. No import marks, how many made it back to the states?

I know this is a pretty old thread but I just picked one up, only one I have ever seen. http://smith-wessonforum.com/s-w-revolvers-1961-1980/171183-model-10-s-w-shah-stamped-3.html

Below are the pictures, it is in really good condition with no import marks. Has a little rust speckling on the grip, under the cylinder and in the site notch but you really have to be looking with a bright light to see it. Overall very pleased given its scarcity.

Ill post some pics as soon as I pick it up and do a quick clean-up (nothing deep as I will let any patina be) , waiting the 8 days and my FFL is a fair distance.

Iranian or just a mod 10? This one looks good, hopefully I will have some pictures soon. A few rust speckles on the trigger guard but definately very clean for something that by any factor shouldnt even be in this country (no import marks). Have to wait 8 to pick it up (along with the SLR106 I...

Will do, it will look nice with its new expatriate friends below 28shooter are you a MdShooters.com member?

Thanks, look forward to getting it. I have high expectations. My transfer FFL is going to get a surprise given he was private security in Iran before the Shah's fall. I actually hope he will be able to tell me a little more about it.

I just nabbed a Mod 10 of Gunbroker, I collect these things particularly Mausers. If you have any data from your activities I would love to know! Next Persian Artillary Luger

Ya I just hope the pics arent touched up, though the seller seems very upstanding. Well see when I get it.

Thanks guys, it was on Gun Broker and I popped for it. Overpriced (buy once cry once) but I collect persian guns (started with Mausers) so I guess it has a little extra value to me than a normal cherry Mod 10. Plus its pristine and not import marked. Everything I have gets shot, but this one...

Thats the question, I have never seen one. Have seen the Lugers and every variation of Mauser but never a revolver. Dont mind paying a little premium, as it fits and probably fun to take out and shoot once every couple years. What I dont want to do is buy it and find out thousands were...

Can anyone tell me a little more about the Model 10 S&W .38 S&W revolvers that were bought by the Shah I am a collector of persian firearms and have come across one. Its overpriced but I am intrigued. 1. How many were made (I have heard 7,000) 2. When were they made (year, assuming before...
