A few years ago, my daughter moved above to Mason-Dixon Line for college, graduate school and is now pursuing her PHD. She lived for a time in a large city that is not known to be firearms friendly.
Her dad decided that she needed a little something in case there was a bump in the night. A suitable S&W Model 60 was found at a gun show from a private seller who had set up a table.
It was in great shape with no box or papers but for $400, it fit the bill. I didn't notice at first but, the serial number on this one contained the last four digits of my SSN. That fact was not the reason I acquired it but, it didn't hurt.
The "book" was one that I had for several years and since my daughter's field of study is writing and rhetoric so, it was a perfect match!
