I know this one breaks the cardinal rule as it lacks proper pics of the subject, but one of the local guys doesn't allow photos at his tables.
ON his table today however was a post-war Terrier .38 in blue with the typical 2" barrel half-moon sight on I-frame, SN 602xx which, while pretty covered in dried oil and decades old residue, looks like it *should* clean up well. It times correctly, and the bore is clear if dirty with good lands and grooves. Blue is probably about 85%+-ish
Grips are unfortunately aftermarket fake stages, so there's a deficit right there, but this would be more a shooter collector than a showpiece - however, is it - in the opinion of the Terrier experts around - worth anywhere near $550 otd, with the replacement grips?
Pic not mine and for visual ref only, as it generally resembles this example 'at a glance', incl. in terms of bluing level, albeit this one is far cleaner.
