A $2500 Model 66?

[sheepdawg]

This forum is like a pack of hyenas, just waiting to pounce on an opinion.
I was warned about this hole, now its come true.
Didnt even make 100 posts.

Nice way to treat new members, mods your a joke. Sells adds though, right.

Are you under 30?

You opined that a 66-1 was rare and likened it to the 1960-61 dash one variations of the blued steel revolvers at which time there was a brief period of time where the threads were changed on the ejector rod yet the fourth screw was maintained. That comparison simply does not apply to the stainless series of Smiths. This was gently pointed out to you several times and you suddenly blew a gasket, insulted the members and the moderators and opened yourself up to some well deserved ridicule (which you have not gotten by the way). I'll say it again for you, the 66-1 is not a rare gun. The 14-1, 19-1, 28-1, 27-1, 15-1, 18-1, 17-1, ans so forth ARE scarce. The 66-1, 67-1, 65-1 are NOT scarce.
The 66 made a subject of this post went for a crazy insane price which is totally unwarranted regardless of whether it was a 66 or a 66-1. I had a 66-1 that I sold recently for $700 with box and tools. Quite frankly, I would rather have a 66.
Oh and it's "you're" not "your" when you're calling the moderators a joke

I'm waiting for our "new friend" to drop the "I'm offended" bomb.

A 1961-1962 Model 66-1 would be extremely rare!

Extremely rare indeed. What, maybe 8-10 years before S&W's first production SS revolver hit dealer's shelves??? And that was an M60 IIRC...

I would have to consult my 4th edition concerning a model 66.

But,
As a general rule of thumb,
A -1 anything is rare.
Applies for only a year or 2. 1961 thru 1962.
It applies across all model numbered guns.
Try and find a dash 1 anything. I've been looking for a m14-1, there isn't any other than import marked ones.
Then there's the only one known to exist, a model 28-1. The only one known. Let that sink in for a second.

IMO, your post is more of a profound statement than an opinion. But regardless, is incorrect. I'm sorry if you don't like it here but learning about S&W's (from some fine and knowledgeable folks) is my main stay here.

I seriously doubt the sale was completed.

If the gun had been a Super K model 66 perhaps two collectors might go mano a mano.

If he thinks this place is offensive wait till he misses a four footer or hits one in the pond. Golf is no game for snowflakes.

Positive has been feedback given from seller to buyer...
and buyer to seller.

I am center middle class. Thanks mostly to my wifes income. But my best friend of 30 years always has 5 grand in his pocket and often another 25k in his back back. Neither means anything to him. $2k for something he really wants? Not even a blink. His grand kids wont have to work. Lots of folks would spend and extra $1,500 without thought. Maybe the winner wanted it to show off to his/her friends? Someone paying an extra grand never surprises me.

My friend is late middle age and is physically the most unhealthy guy I know. He is too miserable to care. And I constantly worry that I am going to get a call that he killed himself. No off switch.

Wealth doesn't make you happy. But I am more then willing to find out for myself. Who knows? Who knows?

And without even following your link, I'll bet that sellars is einnic or something, with stupid prices and the guns are imports with proofmarks on barrels or frames.
Not interested in those or those stupid prices.

Lol, sure buddy.

Well, that post says enough about you to be all I need to know. Carry on.

66

Makes me think about putting my NIB Model 66 no dash, 2.5 inch up for sale.

 

[EarlB]

Tell me about it...I hope those 2 bidders are interested in the P&R 629 no dash I listed yesterday. I swear I haven't been able to sell that darn thing. With my luck, it will sell for $600 (no reserve).

My brother traded a KelTec P3AT with pocket holster, a couple of hundred rounds of ammo, and the little zippered case for the S&W Model 65-1 that he just gave me. (And the trader was thrilled with the deal!) The pinned and recessed S&W is marked on the left side MPD 55, so I assume it was a police issue gun. (I haven't had it lettered yet.) It came with some God awful N-frame grips that were made to fit the K-frame with plastic wood and thinned through the panel area. Put Pachmayr Grippers on it temporarily and it shoots like a dream.

Model 65. Dash 1. Pinned. Recessed. For a KelTec. Amazing.
