M58 From 1964

[Speedo2]

I picked this old clunker up a month or so ago. Many thanks to 50 Target (aka Bob in AL) for providing a replacement hammer for it. Just looked it up and it appears to be an first year edition. SN on it is S256838; SCSW3 says that they were introduced in July, 1964 at SN range S256500 - S260632. I thought that it was going to be an early one, but I didn't think that it would be one of the first. Woohoo! That sort of thing puts a smile on my face. Anyways, I thought that it may be of interest here and deserving of a photo posting or two:

I'm probably not going to spring for a letter on it, but who knows? Anybody got an earlier one? Let's see them. Maybe I'll change my avatar. -S2

That's gorgeous. I was always a fan of the .41 Magnum. There's just something about it....

Nice M58, you'll need to find and join up in the "unofficial" club...

Very nice. The M10 on steriods. What's not to like?

That's my line...

Do I read that right, that my M58, #S260439, is a first-year gun as well?

I knew I'd read it somewhere. I hope you don't mind my barrowing it. If so, let me know and I will stop.
