I Just Picked Up a CTG!

[rags]

When was it made? Can I shoot +P's in it?

 

[squidsix]

HA! Hahahahahahahaha!!!!
Awesome.

Sounds like a pretty rare gun. You'd better get it lettered.

Oh, and where's the pics of your new CTG!?

The batteries in my camera are dead. How do I post pictures anyway?

 

[squidsix]

You just take pictures and then point the CTG at the phone and say "POST THEM!"
Works great.

Ok then, go ahead and post some of those crumby cell phone pictures if you must.

My great grandad had a CTG in 1915. He shot down the Red Baron with it. I have a video of it on Youtube. You should post pictures of yours on ARfcom.

I think this is the part where I roll my eyes at you, , berate you for not providing enough information about your gun, and then ask if you are looking to sell it.

How do you know it was a real CTG? Was it electric penciled under the GRIPS?

 

[G.T. Smith]

I want one just like it. Wow, just think........a CTG!!!!
Peace,
Gordon

No silly! It was in S&W Sharpie®! Are you messing with me? If you are, I think I can report this to the Mods!!!!

We can't date it until you open the wheely thing and give us the numbers, upside down letters, triangles inside circles, etc. stamped on the frame........you know, the cereal number.

Also, I'm guessing the finish is real shiny so it must be chrome.

 

[Sebago Son]

..... Cereal Number....

 

[Dragon88]

Don't forget, we also need all the letters and symbols underneath the grips for proper identification.

Do you have the box? If so you can run an algorithm on the codes from the label and determine the exact time and date the gun was made, as well as what the assembler had for lunch.

 

[therick]

I thought they had been recalled? Better call S&W because if the discombobulator wasn't replaced with the proper thingamajig, it could get a little wompyjawed !

Here we go guys. The OP was able to send me a cell phone pic of the gun, and I uploaded it for him.

Now we're cookin' with peanut oil.

Now that looks like a CTG no dash. Otta be worth more than you paid fo it.

 

[CelticSire]

Nope, that's a pre-CTG for sure.

 

[LeBur]

Well, ..... after perusin' the photographical evidence, ... it seems to me that it's just your everyday-common-usual CT. Maybe some closer pichurs would confirm.
(I'm purty sur I read on here that all the "G's" were being dropped. Somethin' to do with gimpy keypads, so I think that's just a CT.)

BTW, I've got this pard that does blacksmiffin'. He makes some purty good knifes and I bet he could make you a matchin' knive for yor new CT if yor intrested.
Just Holler.

Really? As if we don't have enough extemporaneous persons '

floating in with their sporadic descriptions and fuzzy pictures
YOU, an experienced shooter/collector/ humanitarian/ and
fellow forum friend feel it necessary to place toungue firmly in cheek and make fun of those that call our old pre models CTG. ??

Um ,,is it a 357? by chance? or just a plain old 38 Special ctg. ??

Good luck with this one.

Hell, I've been up all night at work.
