Always wash your gravel, even if the bag says not to, been fighting cloudy water and finally figured out what the problem is

A diatomaceous earth filter should clear that up.

Added a couple to my collection recently. My newest standout of the crowd. So far I'm finding it's around a 1932-1934. Some surface rush and blemishes but she is my new girl. Went from zero revolvers to 3 real quick lately.

That's a really nice piece to restore, great find, what caliber is she??

.38 special. Smith and Wesson military and police. It's a pre pre model 10.

I used to be in a large gun friend group and we all shared deals when they came up. Now I only get them sometimes but I jump on them. I found a similar serial number to this one online with an early 1930s ship date. It's around that year mark but not pinpointed exact.

I have a Nornico 26 SKS that a friend and I wiped the grease off of it in the 90s. 15 years later he came off it with the same box of rounds we shot out of back then. That's my top favorite one I own I think.

I don't want to sound like I have hundreds of them but I'd guess in the 20s. Depends if you count BB guns and if you are counting fully built guns ... I have a couple basket cast guns I've scored and not out together.

I love how tight tolerances can perform. Especially a 90 year old one can. It's been shot but not a ton. Seems more handled than anything. Was wondering if it was a police gun but I don't think they had long barrels. It does have a factory repair mark, a star, by the serial indicating a repair pre 1960s so that adds coolness .
