Yea, you found them, after hanging on your arm like my Basset puppy.
If you are in Vegas, something will bite you on the arm for a new home.
They are beauties, and you had to bring them home. Vegas Baby!.
Good find. Best.
 
Nice. Just our of curiosity, is the M&P all-commercial (no lanyard hole)? The 683-serial would put it likely in 1940 and the range when pre-Victory production was well underway, but not yet to the exclusion of civilian models.
 
Front sight on 44 was cut, serrated and a brass bead installed. The 38 is true commercial model no lanyard hole, my photos do not due justice to the brilliant blue. There is no tattooing around firing pin hole some blue loss on barrel like in and out of holster.
The grips number to each gun.

Toyman,

A friend of mine who is a Sharps/Winchester guy had a table at Vegas. On Thursday an old Gent set up next to him with a table full of bargain priced Smiths and some Colts. Table was cleaned out in a few hours.

All my friend recalled were a row of M-41 and M-46 autos ALL priced either $600 or $650.

We were just getting done with SHOT Show and were late to the gun show, didn't show up until noonish on Friday. WHAT I may have missed at that guys table is killing me. LOL.

DID find a nice pre M-18 on a table along the back wall of the knife area though. Four inch blued, All correct, 95+% shape, no box, shipped December of 1952.
