So I was doing my Christmas baking last Thursday and I was reminded that it was on that day back in 2007 when I was also finishing my Christmas prep that I received a Model 28-2 in the mail—it was that revolver that was the subject of my first post here.
I wasn't as skilled with gun photos as I am now, but I grabbed a piece of firewood , put in out in the snow, popped the revolver on top and took a few pictures. I really liked how they came out.
I was thinking how I really enjoyed the memory of that time, and thought about how I missed that revolver. I sold it a few years later, and, as luck would have it, I actually was able to buy it back a year or so later! I even posted a thread about it here.
But, as was my habit at the time, I was selling guns to buy other guns so I sold the revolver about a year later. Which brings me back to last week...
I realized I should not have sold it once, let alone twice, so I posted about it on a Canadian gun forum to see if anyone know of its wherabouts and to my shock, I heard back from the person who'd bought it ten years ago, and he offered to sell it back to me at a fair price. I'm very pleased—I know the Highway Patrolman is not really rare, but this one has a sentimental appeal for me, plus it has really nice Ahrends Moradillo Retro Target grips that I imagine are unfortunately hard to find these days.
I'm in a different phase of gun ownership than I was back ten years ago—I buy what I like and keep them—so I know this one's not going anywhere—for good this time! I'll post pictures of it when it arrives.
