Reno surprise- 5-screw Highway Patrolman with cokes

[DWFAN]

That's not much more than what I got for mine. Maybe that $1175 is a good price.

To be fair, this gun was the red headed stepchild of the table. This guy had some really really nice stuff w/boxes that stood out.

Boy, that is some red headed stepchild. Great find.

Wow. What a great find.

 

[perrazi]

great figure on those grips. what a deal!!!!!!!

 

[Gunhacker]

northslope... very nice indeed!!!

But your location says San Francisco, CA, how in the heck did you manage to buy an off roster handgun out of state in Reno and get it into CA??? Did it qualify as a C&R? If that was it... well played!!

 

[Peter M. Eick]

Nice one. I really like the pre-28's in the longer barrel format like yours. Mine is not that nice though as it was a working gun.

Dumb question.

Were all the Cokes, diamond grips ?

Yes they were. Not dumb at all.

The serial number (it's an S-prefix) makes it almost 60 years old, so yes - it's a C&R
