Honestly, your post adds nothing to this thread. There are no pictures, and all but three models you mention aren't even in my original post. Did you read my original post? I'm sure you posted just to stir the pot. That seems to be your obsession on this forum. I tried to be very cordial in private, but you just can't help yourself. When will you learn?

Calm down Jeremy.

I really couldn't care less about you or stirring a pot of yours....

I am only participating in the conversation and learning more about this topic.

I'll be ignoring your attempts to pick a fight with me from here on out. Addtionally, your e-mails will hereafter go unanswered.

What is your problem, huh? You come in here and screw with the man's thread for no good reason. This is a PICTURE THREAD. Can you comprehend that??

Moderated Status, 30 days. Are you dense, or what? Jesus Christ. It's like dealing with a child.

I'm in too. Not to hijack too much, but here's my non-model marked .44 Magnum 4-screw. S1721xx

 

[jeremyws1]

I know I've seen 15-1s. Does anyone care to share a picture theirs?

 

[YeshuaIsa53]

I have a 57-1, N902xxx that is worth mentioning. When I can find the time I will try to get a pic in the coming weeks of my dash ones.

Here is my Model 15-1 that I had found virtually in NIB condition, within the last year:

 

[jeremyws1]

mr-k, that is beautiful. Thank you for sharing!

Aside from N frames, the list is getting much smaller.

jeremyws1:

You are welcome! Thanks for the compliment!

Here's a 19-1 for your thread. Have another of this model,no pictures yet, that has a 2 1/2 in. barrel put on it. Looks great.

Model 12-1, shipped November 30, 1962:

Thank you, digi-shots! The list is getting smaller.

I would really like to see the aforementioned 14-1 4" pinto if original from the factory that way.

 

[Bullseye Smith]

There are some fine gun in here, I checked and I only have one -1 and it has had a brother already showed. Here goes:

 

[jeremyws1]

possibly the only 24-1 ever made:

[29-1]

This 24-1 shipped in 1966, 3 years after the Model 24 ceased to be catalogued. It was made up from parts for Dick Marble, owner of American Firearms Warehouse. It letters and probably is the only one that will ever surface but one never knows for certain with S&W

[handejector]

Chuck, Did you buy that 24-1? FABULOUS gun- probably the last Mod 24 ever shipped, not counting, of course, the later Mod 24-3's, since they are not real guns, not having pinned barrels....

Hold your tounges- JUST KIDDING!

Anyway, to reiterate a bit on Dash-Ones:
ONLY Carbon Steel(Blue & Nickel) K and N frames count in the spirit of this discussion.
Stainless guns don't count- the Dash-1 means SOMETHING ELSE.
J frame Models don't count- the Dash-1 means SOMETHING ELSE. There are 10's of thousands of the J frame Dash-1's.
L frame Models don't count- the Dash-1 means SOMETHING ELSE.



Here is a 15-1 for ya:

This is the only KNOWN USAF Model 15 that is marked "U.S." only- they are usually marked "U.S.A.F.".

 

[29-1]

Lee, no, some other collector snatched up the 24-1. I wasn't willing to pay that much for it. The 15-1 is neat and all this discussion recently about Air Farce, sorry FORCE,(a little in-bred intra-service rivalry)

has got me wondering about what Army MPs carried at the same time and if they were similarly marked? I'm guessing the standard 1911, but that's only a guess on my part. I do remember having over 350 of those, along with numerous M3s, , 81mikes, M14s, M16s, CAR15s, M60s, 50Cals and even 5 TSMG in our very typical Infantry Bn arms room back in 1972. We even had a few Chicom AKs for demo purposes out on Peason Ridge on N. Ft Polk. Those were the days...

Until the transition to the new M-9 Beretta's the Army used the 1911A1 as the standard sidearm for Guard Duty in such places as Gates, etc. None of the various "Issue" Revolvers were used by Guard details; as these were issued to Pilots, pretty much exclusively. I don't know of any other "use" for the Issue Revolvers other than by some of the CID personnel.

Around fixed installation Guard areas; such as warehouses and buildings, guards were generally armed with Shotguns or whatever the current "Issue Rifle" was.

I know that currently the Gate Guards are armed with the M-9s but also have one of the various versions of the M-16 sitting within fairly easy reach.

Thread resurrection

Any add'l "-1's" to add to the checklist? Anybody looking for a good place to show off the pictures of the 28-1 they just found at the local pawnshop?

Neat thread.
