Common time capsule

[hittman77]

Not old by S&W standards.
Not rare.
Not worth a huge sum of money.

Just a time capsule sporting all it's one-owner-since-1960 original finish, stocks, holster and accessories. To me, it's the T-Grip and trigger shoe that really make it an authentic looking package.

That's.... interesting.
A trigger shoe on a fixed-sight, snub-nosed, pocket gun.
I always thought they were meant for installation on target guns, and considered (by some) to be a little unsafe for a gun going into a holster.
Like I said, interesting - very interesting.
And a nice looking specimen too.

Like the gun. Especially like the lined, floral holster.

Love that brass t grip

 

[ShivasIrons]

Nice piece! I would be proud to own that.

Very classy. No problem with the trigger shoe using that holster.

 

[hittman77]

The trigger shoe is wider than the trigger guard. Yeah, I can see how that's be a problem with certain holsters.

The T-Grip is old enough that stamped on it is "Melvin Tylers T-Grip". I've never had one this old before, or one in gold.

The holster has no markings at all.

Kinda' scarce with a sq butt in that vintage.

hittman,

That is most certain an awesome package!! Are you the original "one- owner"? If not, is there a story and if so would you mind sharing? Happy Thanksgiving, hardcase60

I'm the second owner of this little gem ...... original owner is someone I've known for many years.
