New Member With Pics of Collection

[L.Young]

Hello All,

I've been lurking and learning here for awhile. Tonight I decided to become a member and post some pictures of my collection for your enjoyment and discussion. The first is a #3 second model in .44 American. Its sporting nickel plating and number matching walnut grips. Second is a blued Schofield Wells Fargo marked first model. Serial numbers seems to be matching with the exception of the walnut grips. Last is a blued New Model Target in .38-44 with mother of pearl grips.

I was bitten with the antique S&W bug a couple of years ago when I found the .44 American in a LGS. As they say, the rest is history!

Welcome to the forum. I'd say you made an outstanding entrance.

For a beginning collector, you have an outstanding collection. You have certainly done your homework and purchased pieces with condition and without later refinishing.

Welcome to the forum from Texas! I also think you should consider joining the Smith & Wesson Collectors Association as well as the Historical Foundation. Both have an amazing group of people! You've got a great start on your collection.

Does the serial number, 204 (the W.F.Co. number should be the same as the S&W Serial number), match on all components ? Serial Numbers located on butt of gun, on barrel catch (can be seen when one screw removed and raised ), On the barrel (under the barrel catch when catch is removed), on the underside of the right (?) grip panel and on the flat center of the barrel catch screw, visible when removed ?

Nice save on these oldies.
