You'll like it even more after you shoot it!

Nice fairgrounds find, pretty rare here especially in that shape, hope the price was reasonable.

My 14-3 is one of the nicest Smiths I've bought in every way. It is very clean, a great shooter, and what I consider to be A LOT of gun for $400, shipped. Mine came w/target grips, but no box or goodies. Enjoy your 14! Bob

I thought there was a forum rule that gun show purchases included the sale price(or at least a ballpark figure) . I must be mistaken.

Very nice revolver. Congrats.

I have been looking to pick up a k-38 in the box. They seem to be a bit scarce around here.

I don't usually talk numbers but you are going to hate this.. Between 650 and 750 depending on how you look at it. Bought with two other guns...

What a beautiful gun! The best .38 ever made (IMO)!

It's hard to top a Model 14 for all-around excellence.

Found this one just down the road from Costa Mesa at about the same time.
A little older, 1949, no box, and suspect the stocks are not original but it is close to 99% and I couldn't be happier. Good things are still to be found in Cal. if you look.
