So, i recently became reaquainted with a set of revolvers that my grandfather had, that i had stored in Wisconsin. Model(s) 32-1 14-2 15-2 and 36 (Chiefs Special).

if the link works its a pile of pictures of what i have, and i swear he bought these and basically put them in a drawer in the late 60's early 70's and they have been there since basically november.

Yes there is also a pre-war Colt Woodsman that looks brand new.

Welcome from Texas Dave IL. Great forum for all things S&W, have fun, learn lots, share what you know.

Wow, just wow. Great revolvers in fantastic condition.
 
Pretty sure he bought them in 64 played with them a couple times and threw them in a drawer.
 
Welcome to the family Dave :) nice hardware man ! !
As you can see from my tag, I'm a new guy too ! Only I'm from way up north in Carleton Place, Ontario Canada. I recently bought a 1988 Model 41...my first Smith and Wesson. No pics yet because I'm still waiting for the paperwork to come through. Then the seller will ship it to me.

So how are those new/old pistols holding up? Be sure to put in lots of range time now that the weather is getting warmer.

Say, how did those guns manage to just stay in a drawer untouched for over 50 years ? It sounds like an interesting story. I'd love to hear it if you want to tell it.
