    Mabel has new grips

    I purchased them from Al Simmons Gun Shop here in Canada, where I assumed they ordered from S&W. I tried a quick search online, but could not find a site where S&W sells grips? Yes, they fit on a L frame round butt.

    Mabel has new grips

    Swapped out the rubber grips for these S&W grips... I eventually decided that the S&W logo embossed rather than the silver medallion looked best.

    Canadian 38/200

    Mr DWalt assisted me with this info awhile back and thought I would share. Thanks! I have a .38/200 Smith & Wesson CTG with patents of Dec 1914 , 6 inch barrel and serial number of #736XX4. I have been able to determine that it was shipped Feb 1941, which aligns to the civilian sales of these...

    No additional fees with the paperwork. Just wait times. This recent purchase took 10 business days to transfer to me, then I returned to the shop to pickup (with a Authorization to Transport).

    686 Plus Unfluted date of Birth

    Bluedot37, yes you are correct. I really didn't even notice that on the side of the case... thanks for pointing that out. I guess I was more concerned with whats inside :) The SKU is 150181 and of course the SN# matches. I only have the rubber grips, so based on your previous comments... this...

    @Bluedot37 I bought it used, si I'm not sure what the SKU would of been. How you see it is how I bought it. I thought it was just a 686 Plus. Is there any additional marking to indeitfy it as a TALO? You have a nice revolver there sir.

    686 Plus Unfluted date of Birth

    Hey Bob, I most certainly will as soon as I pick up from the store. Here in Canada, as most of you are aware, we have to purchase the gun, then wait as the Cheif Firearms Officer actually transfer the gun to me. Then I have to apply for an Authorization to Transport to get it home. Cheers, Rob

    pre victory ?

    We're close I read your post with interest, and noticed that your serial # is close to mine, within the 100's anyway. My gun matches your description as well, and starts with #7367xx but no crowfoot.
