“Pre Model 10 Engraved Revolver"

[pace40]

The revolver pictured below had been listed and relisted on a well known auction site for months, languishing, without a single bid. Well, I, and only I, saw fit to place a bid and, I can proudly say I won.

I am shocked that, with the depth of the collectors in this group, that this just sat there for months on end. It's obvious that Bubba's Custom puts out some of the finest collectible firearms on the market today. Notice how the petal and leaf engraving on this classic is modestly highlighted by the meticulously fitted grips. The gold trigger overlay adds a magnificent final touch on this treasure.

I'll get some better photos once it arrives but I couldn't wait to share this with you.

You guys missed a good one!

And all for only $1200. " Good grab Mike!"

Curious as to the vintage.


Good luck
Allen

Right purteeeee.

Get gold on the hammer, thumb latch, and ejector rod, and sideplate screws.
Pearl grips with gold medallions.

Do it right!

 

[Art Doc]

Looks like a 1946-48 "transitional" model.

Need some pearls and a carved holster.

 

[handejector]

I think it's a pre-war.

Does Bubba's have fresh crickets?

 

[Iggy]

You guys can laff, but you may be looking at this generation's Woof Klarz guns.

I think Pace is on.... uh, onto something

Ain't it gonna' rust where the blue's scratched off?

Ok, next time I see you we'll test-fit some 19-teens gold medallion grips to it. I'm down to 2 pair, but one should work just fine. Beautiful walnut, if I do say so myself. Not magna's, but the one's you've got on it now are expendable. If'n it were me, I'd go for ivory. And it just so happens I've got a set of half completed, as in not fitted yet. If you feel like a little autumn project with a file, ivory cuts real easy. You could make that baby in to a thing of everlasting beauty. We know you work with leather, ivory is only a little harder. Same principle. Cut stuff away till its perfect, kind of like metal working!


Now that I look at it a little closer, I'm thinking the ugly wood grips obscure a good part of the engraving. Maybe it calls for service style grips to bring out its real inner beauty.

Don't know bout crickets but saw this sign out front of his shop last week.

 

[pace40]

Not sure about pearls. Maybe a pair of those Woof & Klarz cowsheads.

Tea's fer sissy's. Have some corn likker. It'll start looking better as you drink it.

 

[digi-shots]

I do remember seeing it on the auction site... I was looking for an early post war snubbie.

The more I look at it, the more I like it!

And yep.... looks like an oldie... logo on the left side and all!

 

[handejector]

uncle-in-law. wunce removed.

[Engine49guy]

Tried to resist posting but had to share this beauty,
listed with a $1500 reserve and a buy now of $1800.
Says "you only live once " and "Great Investment" in all caps so it must be.
Says has a "REAL" not fake factory letter, " mechanical meckanism and snap and lockup are very good too".

Checkout the quality fit and finish thats just not found on guns today

 

[twaits]

Okay...there is so much tongue an cheek going on here I don't know which way is up. How much did you REALLY have to pay for that "wonderfully" engraved S&W??
AND what are you going to do with it? Is it possible to have that engraving removed so it looks presentable?

 

[redlevel]

wunce removed- doin time?

Well, his mama (my aunt/cousin Susie-Mae) said he was gone to the "air force" for a year to get some wangs. That was right after him and his brother Bo-Coon run that bad batch of 'shine. The only wangs I seen him with come from Jimboy's wang shack, though. Jimboy's wang restaurant is right out there on 42, right by the incinerator where Unca' Roy's chicken houses are. You know, the incinerator where they burn the dead chickens from outa the houses.

Thass how I wound up marryin' my third wife.

Dear Mr. Red

I hope you don't think I was referring to your dear cousin in a disparaging manner. If you'll notice in my opening post, I was highly complimentary of Mr. Bubba's fine work.

Frankly, I am shocked at your implication that this M&P is not presentable and it will become a cherished part of my 2 inch M&P collection. What I paid for this treasure is irrelevant as it is not for sale at any price.
