Greetings$all,
I've been lurkiog on thg forum off and on for a few years and finally decided to make an "honest" man of myself.
I've been shooting/collecting Smiths for about 15 years, though my "collection" is small by serious collector standards. I've spent many, many hours with the Supica, Jinks, and Neal/Jinks books. Lots of good reading there and always something new to learn.
As you might guess from my user name, my primary interest is N frames, the older the better. I've currently got seven: 2 M28-2s (1-4", 1-6"), 1 29-2 (6"), 1 1955 Target (6 1/2"), 1 625-2 (5" Model of 1988) and 2 25-5s (1-4", 1-6"). I also have a 66-3 (2 1/2", my "carry"), a K-22 from 1948, and a 1979 M41 (w/2 5" barrels).
I'd love to some day have all the "2x" models (M20,M21, M22, etc. or the "roaring twenties" as I like to call them), but that seems unlikely given the prices I'm seeing. I just keep my eyes open and keep haunting the shops, the shows and the 'net.
Sometimes you get lucky.
This forum is a goldmine of information. Thanks to you all for sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm.
Regards,
Glenn
