65-5 Hunter Smith 3" **Letter added 9/1/17**

Cool letter, sorry it got wrinkled...

Many S & W revolvers intended for the export market were designated as "Target" or "Hunter", there not being a widespread right of self-defense with firearms there. The S & W Street Sweeper never sold well across the pond....

Cool configuration,shame they didn't make that many.

That is a cool setup I have a 3" 65-5 with box and goodies. I'll happily trade you mine for yours. Never heard of a hunter smith and probably will never see one again.

Thanks for the offer. I'd better keep it. Hate to burden someone else with something so unpopular that they made so few.

WOW!

4 units in the Continental US!

I'd call that rare.
