They're still out there!
Almost didn't stop at the pawn shop because of traffic, but wasn't in a big rush, so waited for traffic to clear and turned in. I looked in the case and there it was, a Pre-Model 10 RB with 4" barrel. I couldn't believe my eyes and ears, it was calling to me. And you know you just have to answer that call!
Sorry for the crappy pics, but wanted to get a couple posted with this thread. I'll get better pics in a couple of days and update. Its about as mint as a gun can be without the original box. I can't imagine how this gun stayed in such pristine condition all these years. It may actually be unfired. And yes, the grips are numbered to the gun. I'm going to try to see if the shop owner can get me some background information from the seller. Serial number is C1755xx which I believe places it between 1948 & 1952. Can anyone zero in a little closer?
I'm sure glad I stopped...................
