FINALLY! My first BBQ S&W 19-3 Snub :)

[OK Hog Shooter]

That's a great looking pistol and knife combo... and I think your photos are fine. You're one step in front of me - I've yet to attempt to take photos of any of my toys, er, I mean field gear...

I have a Puma still in its original box with all of the paper that came with it, never used, I purchesed it in Oct, of 1987, how much would it be worth today, I am not a knife collector, just have it in a drawer.
Thank you,
M Falcon

Nice gun. I had one with night sights and combat grips. I was STOOPUDD for selling it. Can you give some specifics on that great looking Puma? I'd like to find one.

Thank you sir and everyone thats chimed in. Bought the Puma years ago (1978) at the Coast Guard exchange in Petaluma, Ca. for $25.00 or $28.00 IMS. Cannot remember the name of the model but it's one great knife. Was lots of money for an E-3 back then. Takes an razor edge and holds it. The stag handle has weathered well, partially I think from staining it with blood quite a few times. It still goes with me hunting but we don't get out after deer like we used to. Saw one similar to it on Flea Bay for $180.00 a few months back. I do more groundhog sniping with my old Savage 10 FP in 308 with a 10X Super Sniper scope (as good as a Leupold IMO) than deer hunting. Combo is deadly to 500 yards easily with some 168 gr. Match Kings.

Very nice gun, I love the stag grips.

Most of the high quality gun pics are done in a light box/tent. You can build one fairly cheap using simple materials.

I can build that! Thank you Dragon. Next rainy day I'll put one together and give it a try.

@one eye joe. Thanks for the tip. Next time I take a pic of one of the Smiths I'll try your advice.

@Iggy. One of your revolvers with Patricks grips set me over the top on the stags and Tyler. Can't remember which one though.

My thanks again to both of you gents and everyones nice comments.

The Nickel Model 19 Snub is one of my favorite carry pieces. This one is from 1978-79, and bought many years ago for $225 (the old days are long gone):
