Smith & Wesson revolvers have been real scarce at my local shows lately. Today was an exception. Four guns that really made my ear wiggle. A Model 36 3 inch flat latch, An overpriced Model 65-3 4 inch, another overpriced Model 19-7 4 inch Nickle plated and the one I brought home.

A Model 19-3 2.5 inch round butt, pinned and recessed with Magna stocks, dates to 1971. Good mechanical condition :) but it has the ear marks of a LEO trade-in from a very wet climate and was not wiped down as often as it should have been. The seller was asking $700 :eek: and, I don't know how, but I managed to get it for $475 OTD. :D

Very well done!!!! Good price on a rather well desired revolver. It could be refinished at the factory or you could send it to one of the many refinishers that are now doing very nice jobs. That price is exceptional for that particular model revolver nowadays. Congrats and good luck for whatever you do with that Model 19!
 
You going to refinish it, or jus "clean it up"?

I'd just "clean it up" and carry it.

Good find!
