Look What Followed Me Home This Month

[Fredo Batali]

I have been working my behind off since before Christmas, so much so, that I had no time to spend any money. Boy, did I make up for lost time this month! I picked up these four Smith's in the last three weeks from the same LGS. First is a 6.5" Pre-29, 4 screw. Next is a 6" M29-3, Nickle. Center is a 3.5" Pre-27, five screw. Last is a 6" K-22 Outdoorsman, First Model. The Pre-29 came in the correct black presentation case with tools and wears "Cokes" but no paperwork. The Pre-27 came in the correct gold box numbered to the gun, with tools but no paperwork. All numbers match including the Diamond Magnas on the Pre-27 as well as all the others. Rarely has anything come together the way this deal did

Haven't seen that kind of merchandise in a shop around here in a looong time. Now have fun with them.

You don't waste time once you get started. Verah nice.

Congrats. That's what I call a fantastic LGS. I have one locally that gives me a heads up when a Smith revolver comes in. I don't turn many down, even if I have duplicates. Wonderful scores you have there.

All that Magnum goodness, but Ima ask for more pics of the K-22, please! Single rear sight screw?

 

[Fredo Batali]

Thanks for the comments guys. I'm really happy with the lot. I picked up a near 100% Model 38 Bodyguard this afternoon at my other LGS. I'll post a couple of pics of it and a couple more of the K22 tomorrow. Yes, it has a single screw attaching the rear sight.

Wondering what the difference is between an illness and an addiction???????

Addiction is ok, an illness needs treatment with expensive prescription medication.

As I scrolled down, I thought for sure that you were going to say that the Outdoorsman came in a red picture box and had "all the tools - just no paperwork"...

CONGRATS - Now that is what I call a great month!

Thanks for sharing,

You were right Tony, those are just plain Gorgeous! Can't wait to see them up close and personal!

An illness is usually curable, but can sometimes be fatal.

In the context of S&Ws, an addiction is not curable but never fatal, and always very expensive.
