Bare with me as this is very time consuming and for some reason I'm only allowed to download one photo at a time and post 5 photos per post. I noticed a moderator was able to edit my post from last week and combine all photos into one post but I am unable to do that. Again, this is VERY time consuming, please be patient. I will leave these on here for a couple of days and then they go to gunbroker.

These belong to my father, Charlie Sherrill. He decided to get rid of a few of his Smith's in order to fund a tractor project. We just purchased over 11 acres of land so now we need one. If you're local and you have a tractor, he is willing to trade.

Please post "I'll take it" on the forum first and then EMAIL me at [email protected]. Please do not PM me as I may or may not read/receive them. I state this and every time someone's PMs me and then gets ticked off because I didn't answer them. It seems like on every forum the PMs are not 100% reliable. I may or may not receive them.

All items are sold as is, no returns, no refunds. Everything is being described in very fine detail with many photos. Please ask questions before stating "I'll take it." Do not say "I'll take it" just to tie the deal up and ask questions.

First off is the Georgia State Police Commemorative. It comes with the Georgia State Police presentation case, nothing else. Finish is in really great shape, hardly a turn line. Not sure if it's ever been fired or not. Slight wear to the gold lettering in the GSP crest. $1,000 shipped to your FFL. SPF to haris1


Next is the 38/44 heavy duty Arkansas State Police revolver. Reblued, all of these were, non matching grips. Everything else matches. No rust or pitting, beautiful bore, shoots great! $725 shipped to your C&R or FFL SPF to Hogstr



There were only two prefixes that designate these revolvers as an actual Lew Horton 624 no dash. This is one of them. Out of all the 3in 624s on gunbroker, none were actual Lew Hortons, even though they were advertised as such. Smith started making a 3in 624 after they found out how popular they were. This revolver's prefix is ALW, the other one I believe is AHS. CORRECTION: There was a ALU prefx with a special engraving of 1985 LIMITED EDITION MODEL 624 COMBAT 1st 100. That's not what this is though. Anyway, stainless steel, 98% finish, rubber grips, no rust or pitting, shoots great! .44 S&W special. $775 shipped to your FFL. SPF to: PM jdbbilliards





Pre Model 10, 5in barrel, blue, 90% finish, Not sure what transitional is, maybe you do. Made about 1945-1948, no rust or pitting, shoots great!, .38. special. All matching, including grips. $380 to your C&R or FFL. SPF to trashy



Pre model 10 snub nose, 2in barrel, blue, 95% finish, all matching including grips. Made about 1957. $600 shipped to your C&R or FFL SPF to lowriderfxr




M57 no dash, nickel, 4in, 41 mag. 98% finish, made about 1980. $850 shipped to your FFL OBO SPF to: lowriderfxr



Pre model 28 S&W .357 Mag. Highway Patrolman, 6in, blued, all matching including grips 95% finish. Shoots great, Bore is in great shape, no pitting. Made about 1955, $1,000 shipped OBO, no box or papers.



Australian pre-Victory revolver in .38 S&W, not .38 special, 5in, re-parkerized by Lithgow in 1954 FTR= Factory Thorough Rebuild. This is a Pre-Victory revolver, before they started putting the V on the bottom. Top grip strap does say United States Property. One small spot of pitting in the barrel, pitting under the grips. Small import mark on left side, pitting under grips ( all of these that were imported have pitting under the grips for whatever reason ) All matching but the grips. Probably dates to around 1940-1941. I've shot this and it shoots great! Again, .38 S&W, not .38 special. $350 shipped to your C&R or FFL. SPF to Autococker07



Presentation box dated 1982 for a 8 3/8in barreled S&W.
Not sure what this goes to, dated 1982 on the inside. Someone has placed foam inside. $75 shipped. SPF to Alaskavett



This one is lettered to Sheriff Hubbell Pontiac, MI and it's US marked.
I will ship to a C&R or FFL. Not only is this lettered to a law enforcement agency, it must have been used by the military at one point or another as it's US marked on the bottom of the right grip. You are bidding on a S&W M&P ( Military & Police ) Pre-Model 10, 5 screw revolver in .38 S&W Special. The gun was made sometime in 1949 and was shipped to Sheriff Clare L. Hubbell of the Pontiac, Michigan Sheriff's Dept. which is in Oakland County. Sheriff Hubbell's history can be found online and it is very interesting. Please read the story at the bottom which was found on geneology.com The gun was one of twelve shipped to them. At one point in time, this gun must have been sold or given to the military as the left hand grip, which is serial numbered to the gun, as it is stamped U.S. As to what branch, I have no idea. I've never seen one stamped on the grip like this. The gun is in beautiful condition, finish is 95% plus. All numbers match, including the grips. The grips do show some wear, please see photos. No rust or pitting and the cylinder locks up tight, great timing! $700 shipped OBO shipped to your C&R or FFL


Frank Greenan campaigned for the sheriff's office when Sheriff Schram decided to retire. He had won the primary election as the Republican Party candidate. Greenan began to neglect his election campaign while investigating suspects for the Clarkston bank robbery. The election was drawing near and Greenan had already cleared a number of suspects when he received information about a family in rural Lapeer County. On Tuesday evening November 1, 1932 Greenan told Deputy John McIllroy that he had received a "hot tip" that he, Harvey Tedder, and Deputy Clare Hubbell were going to investigate the next day. Greenan told McIllroy "the Dillons had recently purchased a farm near Lapeer, paying cash for it, and their extravagance had aroused the curiosity of neighbors'> Greenan over-ruled the suggestion that he take a large force of deputies to the farm by saying that it was "probably just another bum steer". The next morning Greenan, Tedder, and Hubbell went to Clarkston and picked up Bank President David Teggerdine and assistant cashier Ray Ainsley as they could identify the two men who had committed the robbery. They drove to the Lapeer County Jail and picked up Sheriff Byron Courter as the Dillion home was in his jurisdiction. Sheriff Courter, only armed with tear gas, accompanied them to the Dillon farm in Deerfield Township. Ben Dillon had decided that despite the depression he was not going to live as a poor man and he had plans. He was already a career criminal when he told his mother, "I'd rather be dead than poor!" He had been involved in a number of crimes, including the January 21, 1931 robbery at General Motors Truck Company where he had escaped with $2,800 in cash. His plan had worked well at the bank in Clarkston when he and Leo Bogert used a stolen Chevrolet for their escape. Ben Dillon's mother had purchased the Lapeer farm with the Clarkston robbery money. Ben told his brother Scott that he planned on doing robberies through out the Midwest and would return "to pose as a poor farmer boy" at the farm. The two of brothers were chopping wood when the two sheriff's department automobiles pulled into the driveway. As the two sheriff's cars pulled up, banker Teggerdine recognized Ben Dillon as one of the bandits. Teggerdine later recalled that "no sooner had we come to a stop when of the the Dillons said hello rather pleasantly. His attitude changed suddenly however and he bolted toward the house. The other youth ran toward the wood shed with Deputy Hubbell in pursuit with both guns drawn". Greenan, Tedder and Sheriff Courter pursued Ben Dillon into the house through the kitchen door. Tedder started upstairs as Greenan began searching the first floor. Greenan went into a first floor bedroom and was confronted by Ben Dillon who was now armed with a shotgun. Greenan attempted to push the barrel of the gun away with Dillon aimed the shot gun at this chest. Dillon fired at point blank range striking Greenan in the shoulder and arm. With Scott Dillon in custody Deputy Hubbell returned with him to one of the cars and handcuffed him to the bumper. He heard the gun shot and saw the severely wounded Greenan come from the house. A second blast came through a window and struck Greenan in his other arm. Hubbell assisted Greenan and told the two bankers to take him to the hospital. The bankers left as once and heard more gun shots being fired as they drove away. Mrs. Dillon ran into the yard screaming while Marion Halliday, Ben Dillon's girlfriend, stood at the kitchen door. Hubbell handed Sheriff Courter one of his guns as they entered the home. When they observed that Tedder was mortally wounded from several shotgun blasts to the chest and "doubled up in a heap" on the floor Courter took Halliday as a human shield. Halliday screamed at Dillon not to shoot as they approached the bedroom window. As Courter and Halliday neared the bedroom door one more shot rang out. Ben Dillon had shot himself in the face with his own shotgun. Tedder died in an ambulance on the way to the Hospital. Another ambulance came for Dillon and took him to the Lapeer Hospital where he died. Winter snows began to fall as Oakland County Deputy Sheriffs, Pontiac Officers, Lapeer County Deputies, State Police and reporters converged on the farmhouse. Greenan was fighting for his life at the hospital in Mayville were doctors worked to stabilize his condition. Despite the doctors' initial optimism and a blood transfusion Greenan's condition grew more serious. Frank Greenan died at 11:30 that night. One month later to the day Sue Carroll Tedder was born. She was Harvey and Mina Tedder's eleventh child. In the years following that cold November day Mrs. Tedder often told her children that "even when just looking out the window the world never looked the same."
