Mailman was good to me today

[blanda1]

Mailman came to the house today bearing a gift.. (expected Monday or Tuesday)

Smith and Wesson Model 1903 Second Model Fifth Change chambered in S&W 32 Long... I have dated it to about Feb.-March of 1911.... The beauty of the delivery was my luck in locating it at $270.00 DELIVERED....There are still finds out there NEVER GIVE UP.....All matching serial numbers including stocks/grips

 

[murphydog]

Wow. I 'may' have just paid about that much for one in (ahem) not quite as nice shape . Good for you!

What a beautiful revolver!
All my mailman brings me is bill's, if he brought me stuff like that I might trim those bushes by the box for him
Congrats!

VERY VERY NICE!

 

[Comrad]

You going to shoot it?

 

[DGT]

Wow, that is the nicest one I've seen.

What kind of Moron would sell a like new 100+ Year old S&W Revolver for $270 shipped?

 

[Iggy]

What a beauty!!! You know that gun theft is still a crime don't you?

Honestly, wish I could find more of them...The "moron" has a VERY large gun store....he does not like selling older guns (30's and below) and emails me when he gets them in and usually I will buy them at very reasonable prices and he gets a quick turn around. I have probably purchased 10-12 guns this year alone.

Nice gun. Nice find. GREAT price! You have every reason to be happy.
I found this one, about 4 years newer than yours, at a small estate sale a few months back. It had the box and tools and it cost me $420. I thought I had done very well. You beat me by quite a margin.

And, BTW, it looks better in person than it does in the photos!

[deserttrans]

That is a great deal!!!

 

[JohnRippert]

Beautiful!

 

[fireball228]

Great deal, I love it !

 

[Leslie Sapp]

Very nice! My wife saw one of those a friend inherited recently, and it's now become one of her grail guns. Since "If mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy", it's now one of mine, also.

Wanna make your money back?

 

[wbraswell]

To say I'm envious is an enormous understatement. Wow.

 

[05CarbonDRZ]

How can you not like to sell older Guns? A Gun is a Gun and profit is profit.Short changing yourself on old Guns is not a very smart business plan.Who knows how many tens of thousands of profit he has pissed away.

 

[Point 357]

You sir, have a stunning example. I would have paid much more than you did for that gun.
Great photography as well!

 

[snubbyfan]

Very nice, USPS just delivered some leather crafting supplies including a double shoulder of 9 ounce veg. tan and it cost more than that gun.

Are 32 caliber revolvers popular? My father in law has a 1973 NIB 32 with papers that he may want to sell. How would he determine how to price it? We can't find any comps on GB, etc.
