Re: Santa (Son) was very, very good to me.
Here are the photos of the piece as we discussed earlier. I am reasonably sure that it is a reblue, but the rest of its history is unknown to me. The military inspection marks lead me to believe that it was made from leftover WWI parts. (That rust was not visible to my naked eye; it has been properl...

Before and after knife
I really like the PAL RH-36 knives, and will rescue one if I can. I bought this one cheap for obvious reasons. The sheath is also new made. As bad as the leather was on this one, the original spacers crumbled when I tried to reuse them so I used what I could find.

Re: Well boys, it is New Years Eve again
Well, crap, an old friend just called me to tell me that another friend was found about three days dead in his home. Danny was one of the brigtest, and most clever people I have ever known. He could do anything and do it well. He was always good for a laugh. The man found it easy to make money, and ...

Well boys, it is New Years Eve again
And I have to make the decision as to whether to go out, get drunk and disorderly, pinch someone else's wife, and drive home with one eye closed to avoid seeing double, or going to bed by 10:00 as I have for the last 30 years. It is a tough decision. I have nothing to complaint about 2023, I started...

Re: Santa (Son) was very, very good to me.
Couple questions came up, along with a possible explanation. First response: "Mike, we are going to need more and better lighted pictures to tell you anything much. The finish appears not to be typical of a military gun. Is there a S&W trademark stamp on the left side of the frame? Is ther...

Re: Santa (Son) was very, very good to me.
Thank you, Mike. Some quick questions before I post it. Do the serial numbers match and where are they? The serial matches on butt, barrel and cyl. face Do the assembly numbers match? I see two, one on the crane and one on the frame, and yes, they match. The one on the frame, by the crane is follow...

Re: Santa (Son) was very, very good to me.
I suspect that it is a commercial piece; which is fine; it is a great addition to my Smith hoard.

Santa (Son) was very, very good to me.
Regular Santa left my regular coal. But, found, under the tree from my son was a gorgeous, Smith model 1917 revolver. The serial shows 1918 production, but the piece appears to be a commercial model. Checkered Grips, and no US property markings. I have a question though, on the frame at the crane is...

If you ever wondered why people put up with Florida heat
This morning, up against the Georgia border, it is short sleeve weather, the grass is still green (but not growing; the best of both worlds) The sun is shining and it is just a glorious day. The roses and camilias do not know it is Christmas.

My S&Ws
I never intended to collect S&Ws or revolvers. Over time these Smiths fell into my lap. I have enjoyed all of them. Hey! Hey! I got enough band witdth to post a photo today! (after reducing the pixel count by about half) The one that I shoot the best is the 65-2 (L. second from top) The previous...

Re: Need professional opinion on Value of mosin
I haven't been in the market for some time, but I would expect that a mismatched Chinese T-53 would go for around $300.00 now days. Someone else may have better knowledge. That can fluctuate based on the day of the week and the area that you are located.

Re: Any S&W revolver gurus in here?
The round butt may change the math some, I am not sure. Apparently they did not make a lot of 5" round butt pieces.

Re: Any S&W revolver gurus in here?
I have got a value question. Someone hinted that one of the S&W revolvers that I own might be a bit collectible. I am not a member of the S&W forum and don't want to waste their time joining for one question. Here are the details to the best of my knowledge: Model 1905, 4th change, with a s...
