Congrats! I love the early HwyP's and yours is a beauty. I cannot remember the date of shipping on mine, but it is within a year or two (edited - SN is 1269XX - probably shipped in 1955)...

Pace, Gorgeous HP! I'm jealous. Do you plan to shoot it - or save it? ...and if you're careful, you can do both!. Regards, Jerry

Tough call on this one, Jerry. Normally, even if I buy something as a collector, unless it is NIB I put 8 rounds thru it. 2 to sight and then a full cylinder before greasing it for storage. This one isn't even showing full turn lines sooo.......I honestly don't know yet. May just be a looker.

 

[Nframe]

Excellent. That must be with-in the first month! I shot mine about 50 rounds then cleaned and put it up. They are great shooters!

 

[Doc44]

Very nice early HP!!

Chris , I missed this thread the first time around. It's sweet, and oh so collectible.
Ones in this condition don't come along often. I haven't shot my best 5 screw, and probably wont.
It was 500 clams at a pawn shop and another 100 for proper stocks.

Looks like you got the whole shebang. Somehow stepping into that realm of collecting without shooting creates a very mixed bag of feelings.
I guess a simple love of the gun drives me to own anyone I dont shoot.And lately those are numbering more and more......

Enjoy fondling your new H.P. , here's a pic of mine, for old time sake

Regards ,,,Allen
