1948 5 screw pre 14 K38

[Brownie]

Here's one I found recently. It's about 98% and 60 years old. They started making these in 1947, and are considered one of the most accurate Smith revos ever made [ in fact, they were hand fitted back then by employees sitting at tables and pulling parts from boxes in front of them ].

Talk about intensive American labor at it's finest when this countries companies and workers cared about the products they produced being the best in the world.

This gun is one of those from that era.

More of the same gun.

That is sweet! Seems you have become addicted to the older Smiths eh?

Nice piece!

We're on a roll on these collectable Smiths John:D

Damned that Jim Music;)

That should be a whole lot of fun and enjoyment at the range.Too bad they don't make 'em like that anymore.:D

pistola;

This one goes in the safe. They increase in value about 15% a year and even more at times depending on the market. Keeping the older ones as pristine as possible and shooting the user grades like the 19-4 is the way to go here.

I've got that Smith 19-4 that duplicates this one almost exactly thats going to be used for ariel shooting on the softballs, baseballs, then golfballs when I want to use the 38's.

Finally starting to get myself back to where I was before I left the east coast where collectables [ put aways ] are concerned. Back then it was gov 45's from ww1 and ww2, and a few commercial models thrown in from the 50's. Now it's these K and N frame "pre" and post war 14's, 17's, 15's, 27's and 28's along with others like the 1905 M+P's etc that are the object of my attention.
