Model of 1950 44

[John Ryan]

Hi gentlemen,
I've been housebound for a while this winter and decided to dig into the safe and get some spring cleaning done. I took a couple of pictures before finishing up and thought I would share them with you. The letter from S&W states that this Pre M24 was shipped in 1958 with a factory bright blue finish. Hope you enjoy seeing it!

Very, very nice. Might just be my favorite S&W from that period. Love that bright finish.

That's a beauty. You may be housebound but you're not alone.

Welcome, John. I hope you'll stick around.

You have mighty good taste in revolvers. That one is gorgeous.

As a big Model of 1950 fan myself, that's one nice gun!

I never get tired of looking at those vintage N frame target models.

Gorgeous. Sorry to hear about your housebound status. Hopefully you will be better soon!!!

That is one very nice revolver you have there. I have a major fondness for all of the 1950 model "N" frames and appreciate seeing photos of them being posted.

Very nice. Curious to know if the box is numbered to the gun as the lid has been re-marked with grease pencil from "1926" to "1950".
