BOB, thanks for the pic & comments. Nice gun, and deserves the protection of the full-flap holster. Also, I'd forgotten about the S&W amunition. Found the one and only full box I have. Bought it at a Tulsa show about 15 years ago. thanx john

Thats the only full box of S&W .22 ammo I have too.

I sure wish I had a blue starburst box!

Hey jwh32
Thanks for the info on your gun! The unique thing for me is the box! The box is a "sun burst or sun ray" type and was used on the pre mod 34 & 43, the mod marked 34 & 43, the pre 36 &37, and the mod marked 36 & 37. I can document their used in the mid and late 50s but only on the above mentioned guns. I have them with 3 different type boarders but still using the sun ray graphics. Thanks again for the info on your gun, it will help in the research of these boxes!

Nice pre-43...I love my Model 43. Perfect as a tag-a-long.

That's a cute revolver. The concept of a small .22 revolver with a lightweight frame is sensible. Wished they still made them just like yours.
