My first nickel

[ME94]

A little over a month ago I was shopping on gun broker; I saw this little 36-1 so I put a bid for $425 and went to sleep and when I woke I realized that I won. It has aftermarket grips a few scratches but overall it is great shape.

The little revolver came with a holster also so $425+35 shipping and my FFL didn't chage me a transfer fee. Thanks for looking. Share your Nickel again thanks

Top to bottom; 29-2, 27-2, 25-5. I believe that's all I have. Joe

Nice gun, but I think those grips came from Smith, just newer

I've posted most of my nickel guns before, so here's a "covey shot."

$425 for that? I don't see a mark on it! Heck of a score, congrats.

A lot of cops that I know still have their first nickel.

Great looking nickeled 36-1 for $425. I consider the 3 inchers ideal. Good score !!!

I, too, am a fan of 3" square butts, but I don't have a nickel one, yet. Yours is a beauty!

Congrats.

Here are my nickel Chiefs Specials. My favorite is the Pennsylvania Railroad marked one from '56.

I doubt if more than 15% of any given model left the factory finished in nickel, and it could be even lower

Nice score on your 36-1!
That was a great auction outcome, for sure.

How's the timing on it?

Something about Smith & Wesson nickel guns I've wondered about. Hearing it from the horse's mouth about Colt. From a former employee of the Colt factory from mid 70's to early 80's. He told me Colt sent frames, slides and some revolvers to be nickel plated to hide blemishes. I wonder if the same holds true for S&W, anybody know??
