38 DA 4th change. 38S&W of course. All original and tight as the day it was made.

Nice find.

If my 2nd model had looked that good I would have kept it. Unfortunately, one side of it rode in the rear pocket next to my great-uncle's butt for many, many years.
It was still tight(the gun), but it wasn't pretty. Now it's a shooter for a cowboy-type guy.

Some revolvers are just persistent that way.

I have a S&W top break in 32 that looks as nice as that one. It shoots well to. Pretty accurate for a short gun.

Man, you got ripped, that flyer said they were selling them for $11.00

But for one that nice, I'd spend almost TWICE that much.
