Less then what a beat up later model would cost... :)

Does anyone know if this would be an 1888 mfg gun?

S&W letter arrived... It is a factory 6 inch barrel, with S&W using the DA barrel to fill a special order. At least we know it is correct with the double stamp and that is how it was shipped :-)

The serial number is 614. It's a New Frontier model. Thanks! -Mark

Got the estimate back and I'm going for it! I plan on using it for deer hunting someday along side my 73 Winchester since they share the same caliber. Still waiting to find out the mfg date on the S&W. Winchester is 1885 so really hoping this S&W is around the sane age. How long does it...

It's very easy to find the info you need. It is available on usps.com Policies, Procedures, and Forms Updates

little OT but I have a few of H.M. Quackenbush's copy books from the late 1800's-early 1900's. These are direct copys of Quackenbush's letters...

The ammo is original i believe. I acquired a lot of stuff when I bought the guns. She had a basket full of ammo she brought out. 25-20 single shot the 44-40 ammo Couple boxes of Russian 32 s&w .22 extra long among others. With all the guns which there was several, old knives, and a bunch...

Thanks guys...I ended up with a colt 1902 in the group too, which came with 38 auto ammo and some 38 super (supposed to have auto only) I thought it was a 1900 colt when I bought them, and I've been using that Id on the net ever since...lol I'll save the 44 Russian for the right gun someday -Mark

Not sure if this should be here or somewhere else, but since it is antique specific, I did it here...Mods...Please move if needed ;) When I acquired my #3 it came with two boxes of Russian ammo. Since finding out I have a 44-40, can the ammo interchange? I did lay the two side by side and it...

For those that may be interested, I finally was able to photo the barrel serial numbers today with my girlfriends help :)

Very interesting read. I read there were a lot of them made so never really looked into it any farther. I hate to talk value, but what would this one be worth approximately? I know the BB is around $500 or so and that is what I figured it would be at full retail...I have no intention of...

Sent off an email to Dave asking about shipping this to him for repair. The problems that I see are: half cock does not work the part that pops up to lock the cylinder in place does not work. The part that rotates the cylinder is chipped off and won't engage the cylinder. How can one get...

I can not read the numbers on the grips, but the rest of the gun matches. Attached is a pic. of the barrel stamp. -Mark

Just removed them and found no number on either one...replacements maybe? They don't have the S&W logo on them. -Mark

Mint and working. .. Around $200 To bad you popped one of the old blue S&W cylinders, those have not been around since the late 70's...the 12gram ones you find at almost any sporting goods store will work and are the same. There are a couple variations of this gun. One with adjustable...

Regarding the letter info I included: barrel length serial numbers finish I think was nickel (very very small traces of it) I also included both barrel numbers and mentioned how and where they were stamped. lastly I mentioned this thread and included my phone number in case he has a question...

Request for the papers from S&W are in the mail :-) I'll update once it arrives...any idea on how long it takes? Thanks for the link too...that made life easy! -Mark

Pictures of the 1891 I bought...

Of the guns I purchased in a group...this one I like the most! Any guess on age and if they all have this site? Most of the top breaks I have seen just have a groove rear site. Thanks! -Mark
