Does it need a new home?

I would gladly adopt it and give it a nice warm place to sleep

I forget how much I like the N frame 357's....sweet piece.

Thanks,everyone. I am just a poor workin stiff who was buying and trading smiths when you couldnt give them away at shows! I am just now bringing guns out to show,I havent even shown my family some of this stuff! This pre 28 is in great shape and all matching numbers.

But be careful. My bride says she doesn't know one gun from another, but she can count.

Yes, you dropped a digit as the HP starts at S103500.

FYI - I have S116400 and it shipped 9/3/54.

 

[Rigger]

Oops,silly me!Thats what happens when you reach the ripe old age of 35!Yep there is another number.

Wish I could find something like that tucked away around here!

I would have loved to have caried my HP as my duty sidearm. However, my agency would not allow an officer to carry anything other than a revolver chambered for the .38 Special only. Well, my Outdoorsman did the job for 33 years, so I can't complain.

There was just something about these old guns that I love. I still have my first 38/44 that I bought for around $160 with duty holster!Im glad I was into these older smiths before the craze hit!

At one time I owned an HP with the SN S 110231. At that time I believed it to be first year production. In a fit of stupidity I traded it off and I am still too ashamed to discuss the details.

Very nice.
I really like my Pre-M28 6", but would love to find a nice 4".
