Allen in MT Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Yesterday I saw this S&W 34-1 a 2" cal 22 and bought it with the Brauer Bros H22 Leather Holster. It hasn't been shot much as there is very little scoring on the cylinder and very clean overall. Couldn't talk it down in price so paid the way below book price and when he gets time will look and see if the box and papers are buried in the house somewhere. It will compliment my other 4" and 83/8" Smiths.Ok now this morning I get to another yard sale and see another Smith in a zippered case.It turns out it is a nice Mdl 41 in 5.5" with extra magazine. When I asked I couldn't believe it. SOLD SOLD and I pay the man and smile all the way home. SN# A5727xx. Maybe early 80's?????? A little later I go by the sale again and think I will stop in and ask if he has the box and papers. He says Not that he knows of, then says let me go look. In about 20 minutes he comes back and hands me the original box and papers for the 41. Again I'm all smiles.enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen in MT Posted July 27, 2014 Author Share Posted July 27, 2014 Thank you will give a call for date,Sold the 10-22 that I camo'd last week and this morning I picked up a Winchester 121 single shot for $60.00. It is all tore apart now for some serious cleaning took the stock to bare wood and then back to a walnut stain with a few coats of balistol to finish it up.and then should be good to go.
