Model 61-2 Escort

Found this locally from an individual. Model 61-2. Original box, papers pouch, extra mag and cleaning kit. Even had the original receipt for 59 dollars dated 1972. Took her apart, cleaned and lubed her and she ran like a sewing machine. $320.00. Not the holy grail but pleased non the less!

Neat, they sure don't make them like that anymore.

They are unique neat little guns. I wish the magazines held more than 5 rounds. I've got this 61-3 Nickel.

I bought one of those in 1970 when they first came out and carried it in my back pocket as a back-up gun. It was not very ergonomic and developed a lot of feeding problems...probably because of pocket lint...and I soon traded it off.

Most of the ones I saw were carried by cops as a B.U.G. Yours might have been also. Thanks for the memories!

Nice 61. Good price for the excellent condition and everything it originally came with.

That is one of the few I’ve ever seen without “the crack” in the grip at the indicator. Even ones advertised ANIB seem to have it. I’ve considered getting replacement grips for mine but it’d probably crack anyway.
