Wow! Were those special issues or did you add the stocks yourself?

Thanks

Only "500" of these Snake Eyes sets were made in 1989.
They came as you see them with the stocks shown.
One side shows a Royal Flush and the other side shows a pair of dice with Snake Eyes up.
The barrels are roll marked Snake Eyes and not Python.
The serial numbers are done in sets.
Example: EYES123 on the Royal Blue & 123EYES on the Bright Stainless

Wow, just Wow...

Do you shoot them? If so, which one shoots best? For DA revolvers those two look real nice. I like the contrast of ivory stocks on blued revolvers. By the same principle, I think the bright finished one would have been more atractive with buffalo stocks. Thus I say the blued one wins the beauty contest between them. Of course you pretty much have to keep them original.......and probably not actually shoot them. I couldn't abide with that. So they're way to nice for me. Like a pretty woman you can't have.......still turns your head, though!

What caliber are these? A friend of mine was just offered a set, NIB unfired for $5k and he turned it down. I wonder if he made a good decision...

I just came across a smith wesson model 36 unfired poker set at my local gun shop for 800, I didnt realize these poker sets were common. Not a big card player myself but I would pick it up if I was.

Yep, everything's the same except for the price.
