Just bought this .22, made in 1975, looks nearly new, should last me forever, I think.
Saw it advertised in a gun paper I subscribe to with a price of $350.00, Had a few pics, but nothing clear.
I e-mailed and asked for better ones, and several days later he did send me a bunch. I thought I had lost him, but the pics were perfect.
I must have been the only one asking, so he offered it at $300.00 shipped, so I jumped.
I asked how can I pay you, and he said cash or certified cheque.
This seemed a bit odd, but then perhaps he is an older guy.
Well it worked out and here it is looking real fine. Came with Box and wrapping paper, with the original bill of sale for $169.00 in 1976.
Came in box with 42 .85 cent stamps on it for postage, shaky handwriting, so I think I am right about the old guy.
He emailed me to say he felt bad about selling, so I told him I would take good care of this gun. Poor fella, I actually felt a bit guilty about the deal.

That was a great price.:)

I've been there enough times, that I always ask the older gentlemen if they are sure, before shaking their hand.

Enjoy the "new" revolver.
 
Ryan01: I've had a 34 Kitgun for over 44 years. By far the best .22 revolver I ever bought ($85.00 in 1971!!) for my purposes. Yours should outlast you several times over if taken care of. If you experience hard extraction just do as I do and shoot the 34 with DRY cylinders - no oil! I found this out 40yrs ago and has served me well. Oil when done shooting. Congratulations on a great (smart) purchase. BTW I'd never sell mine, never!
