Model Number Picture Thread- numeric order please! (I’ll bet we can come close)

[s&wchad]

Resurrected just in time for Halloween!

We're covered through the Model 50! Anyone have a Model 51?

As the thread is revolvers only,
Staying in order would require models 53,56,57,58,60,60-4,60LS 38,
60LS357,63,64,65,65LS,66,67,68, Then C frame M73, then triple digits beginning with the 242.

Model list

As the thread is revolvers only,
If we skip varients of the Model 60 such as the 60LS and 60 LS357,
Staying in rough order would require models , 63, 65, 65LS.

66,67, 68, Then C frame M73, then triple digits beginning with the 242.

I believe someone posted a 4" Model 66 earlier but the Model 67 was not,
Here is a 2.5" Model 66 and a Model 67 together to keep it moving.

Maybe a mdl.66

I didn't see a Mod 63 so here is mine I bought new in the 70's.

I need to learn how to post pictures better but I will give it a try.

 

[Sapper]

66-2 3"

 

[Engine49guy]

If we skip the Lady Smith varients of the 60 and 65

Staying in rough order would require the Model 68, Then C frame M73,

After that we are in the triple digits beginning with the 242.

Anybody have a Model 68 they would like to share?

 

[Engine49guy]

Anybody have a Model 68 picture they would like to share?

 

[Art Doc]

I lost interest when folks started jumping in with guns out of order.

The 16 is not that rare. There are a bunch of them that have been posted here before. Then it was at 64? Lost me.

 

[ptco911]

Man that brings back memories. I had one of those that I acquired while stationed in Germany. One fine weapon.

 

[roundgunner]

I know we passed the 64 but I'm going to post this anyway.

Same 64 with a laser

Do we go to the 296 now?

 

[HappyHunter]

I will post my 68, gotta muddle with picture posting process.

We do not want a 61?

 

[lawandorder]

Too bad this one could not have stayed in order. Would have been really neat.

 

[cgspapa]

I own one just like it, but not nearly as nice. Good looking piece.

Sth44:



You do know that George Nonte was a prolific gun writer during the '60s, don't you? In addition to articles, he wrote a number of books. His last rank was major in the U.S. Army.

I had the pleasure of knowing the late Dick Eades, also a gun writer and close friend of Major Nonte.
Nonte got Dick started in gun writing when both were Army officers at Fort Hood. Dick was living on base and sitting on his front porch when Capt. Monte moved in next door. He watched as a procession of guns emerged from the moving van and into the house.
Dick was already a firearms expert and avid competitive shooter. Not long after moving in, Nonte asked him to take care of a magazine gun review assignment he was too busy do himself.
He shared some amusing stories about Nonte as well as other famous gun writers. It sounded like George was quite the character.

Thanks to all who have posted photos and information over the last few years. The guns are close-to-in-order so that works out OK. I enjoyed seeing several models I had never seen. Now all I need is a magic wand....
