More OGCA Plunder

[MJS5678]

Had a great show, found this M&P, SV 806,198 with matching stocks.

A 1956 K38 and two nice sets of KB prewar magnas.

Also found a Lyman Super Targetspot scope for my Winchester mod.75, can't wait to get it to the range!

Nice score Mike - the K frames are nice but the KB wood is spectacular!

Wow,you had a great day at the show. Is it just me or do S&W revolvers just look better with diamond center stocks?

Hi Mike,

You sure take nice pictures, nice looking Smiths but the stocks on the M&P look a bit odd! I love K-38s, is that the one I got a look at Saturday.

[depicts]

The KB Pre war Magnas blow my mind. That wood is gorgeous.

Thanks everyone, Keiths work is incredible.

Yes Keith that's the K38 you looked at, I traded into it, could not resist.

The picture really shows the difference in the lines per inch of the checkering
between the M&P and the K38. It's the first set like this I have found for sale.

Hi Mike:

Nice stuff indeed. Your M+P is what we Victory Model collectors would describe as a "Civilian Victory", as it has the SV serial prefix. If you take a close look at it I suspect that you will notice on the butt a plug installed where the lanyard ring hole once was. The factory finished that so finely that they are often not noticed.

Also, take a look on the right side of the frame, just underneath the area where the top of the Magna stock fits. You will likely see a small letter "s". This signifies that the safety hammer block has been installed. Both of these little features are vestigial holdovers from the wartime Victory Model.

An excellent example of a Civilian Victory Model.

Glad you're happy with the k-38, Mike. I always look forward to the OGCA meetings,and talking with you and other S&W collectors. Makes me feel better about my S&W addiction!
