Outstanding heirloom, with a great story. I'm interested in how well it cleans up. Please post a picture.

Shes got freckles on her but, she's pretty. I like it a lot and I think you stole it for that price. Well done.

.44 with diamond eyes This one is in the Ralph Foster Museum at Collage of the Ozarks. It does not have red eyes, and the Texas Sheriff is not identified. It is a nice example of the revolver in question. Good luck with your search.

IMO $500 is a good price. It's not collector pretty but, take that one and any new Smith revolver to the range and you'll think it's worth $1000.

I was going to say DO IT!! But I see you did, so I'll change that to you stole them. That's a very nice package for$1200.

I would like to see how the RenWax works. Please post an after pic. Thanks JD

One more vote for the 686. I have 4 and 6 inch versions both no dash, I've owned them close to 30 years. They have the best double action I have ever tried.

Happy birthday! Happy birthday you must have been a very good boy. That is an extremely fine-looking weapon. How does it shoot? Range report please.

I'd do it The time to buy it is when you see it. If I saw one for $600 later, I'd buy that one too. Then keep the best one and trade the other for something cool. Do you feel enabled yet? :)

The future is bright! 63 and three quarters with a twice rebuilt heart. I think the future of Smith and Wesson revolver collecting gets brighter every day, because we are old. When we were young if you bought a handgun for yourself your wife your mother or were issued a side arm it was most...

Excellent series Thank you all for this thread. Very good series. I've watched the first two seasons. Now I have to get the books. Any word on when the third season will be available? JD

Regrets I have a few. I've passed on deals like that a number of times...and regretted it every time. They're like puppies once you see them you can't unsee them. I remember well a very nice 586 $500, several mod 18s under $500 (I still don't own one) and several others at prices that will...

Paper money Paper money in your pocket loses value every day. A nice Smith in your safe gains value every day and puts a smile on your face. I can think of nothing better to spend $1000 on. Looking forward to pictures and range report.

Like the sights! I like the sights. I hope you bought it! Looking forward to the range report.

Buy it! I think $550 leaves you $100 to put towards a cool pair of combat stocks or a nice holster.
