Well, my letter arrived yesterday and was it disappointing if not unexpected. Everyone wants the gun that has some neat little provenance to go along with it, but it was not to be. My gun shipped to Leacock Sporting Goods in St. Louis on September 24, 1937. No more, no less.

Oh, come now, don't give up that easy!
Researching... Leacock Sporting Goods was a landmark store in St. Louis from 1907 to 1946. A lot of goods were sold from there and some of their items can be found in the Baseball Hall of Fame. The building is, right now, under consideration for historical preservation.

So.. what you have to do is channel your inner salesman. Go on Armslist for St.Louis and Drop that stores name like its Hot. Appeal to people's nostalgia in the area. Tell them they can own a piece of S&W AND St. Louis history
