Found A Cool Old Smitty

[doc540]

Popped up in a local classified ad today, so I bought it.

Looks to be a M&P model from probably around 1916-1917.

Really nice college kid selling it was savvy and held to his price.

I even tried the old "Well, this is all the cash I brought" trick.

Ended up going inside the hardware store nearby and getting another $20 cash with my debit card. :)

Serial number on the cylinder matches the frame.

Grips say: "Sports Inc. Chicago"

Barrel appears to have been shortened, front sight's been reinstalled, probably refinished in nickel.

Somewhere in the past someone fancied up their Smith. Imagine that? ;)

You and your wheel gun finds! Thanks for sharing! I sure enjoy looking!

I am still sure that you got a good deal. So, I am curious, what are you going to do to gussy it up even more?

Gee, you know me too well.

I think I've found a Pachmayr grip adapter, and I'm currently searching for a set of correct, wood stocks.

It's a disease, I tell ya!

Any chance you'll run out of money and start passing on these deals you find??

Probably incurable, too.

Today it got period correct stocks (but no grip screw)
