Does anyone else have a Model 101?

[clang444]

My 4" Heavy Barrel S&W Model 10-1 is actually stamped "MOD-101". It is in the C500000 serial number range which puts it manufacture date in the 1961 time frame.

Does anyone else have a 10-1? Is it marked similarly?

Regards,

clang

Just saw your thread. There have been several threads about mismarked model numbers. Your's is probably another. On the other hand, I don't see many M10-1s and think they were only made a year or two. How about some pictures?

I've kept my eye out for one of those. It would be the M10 I would want if I ever find one. Congrats!

Model 10-1

Here is mine.It is marked "Model 101" also. I bought this for $200.Most of the finish is gray patina.The trigger is smooth and breaks like glass. 158 grain loads hit exactly to the point of aim.

Thanks for the replies gents. My 10-1 is a shooter grade gun too. I'll try to post some pics soon.

model 10-1

I also have a "101" purchased it several years ago and is in excellent condition.
shoots likes brand new. If it was fired it was not much. serial number shows manufacture late 1961 it 1962.

clang, you're NOT alone!

I just purchased this fine S&W Model 10-1 Heavy 4" Barrel that is also showing "Mod - 101" on the frame at a gun show on the 15th of this month!

It is S/N C521XXX (about 1961 vintage) and I got it OTD for $285. It's as solid as new on all tests, such as inspection, endshake, timing, push-off, etc. And I'd rate the the bluing at about 98%. I did a detail strip and all is perfect inside - just some grease added by the former owner, but I cleaned it and oiled it with FP-10 instead.

Here are some Pics I took to give some idea of what I have here:

The grips that came with it had the correct S/N on the inner surface of the right side grip and are exactly the same style as the grips shown here, but had some noticable wear, so (as I had this set of NEW condition diamond magnas) I put these on and stored the originals in a plastic bag to stay with the gun for posterity. I like the crisp new look of these grips for show better!

(Did I do well?)

I'd like to read your comments

Btt

I don't think anyone noticed this thread revival. So I'm bumping it to the top for another chance.

I think you did great, RonJon. That's a nice-looking old K-frame.
