Well, it's about goddamn time!
.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 .

That fresh water or salt water Gator? Have you decided on fish species yet? I've had many types of fish over the years, Neon Tetra's, guppy's and Molly's are nice if you get a bunch of each, all pretty compatible. Oscars and piranha are vicious and eat and shit a lot. My favorite was small panfish, sunfish,crappie,blue gill, they also eat a lot...minnows and gold fish mostly. Had a smallmouth bass for a few years...that faker ate constantly.

We're going with fresh water, there's a auqaponic shop right across the street from me and they have hundreds of different fish to choose from, I think I want some tropical fish, nothing much longer than a finger 🤘, I'm going to check the pH of the aquarium today after work, other than that, it's good to go

This is a fish I had back in the 70s. Red tiger Oscar. It was only a few inches long when I got it, grew to about 8 inches by the time I got rid of it. The thing ate constantly. It got very expensive. I kept a second tank stocked with goldfish for it to eat. It was a mean critter that would tear up anything that was in the tank and ate anything else that was put in the tank. At the end there was nothing in the tank but gravel, a rock, and the heater which was attacked constantly. I always wondered what would happen if it managed to break the heater. I tried to sell it to get rid of it. If you tried to buy a fish that bid in a store they would want a hefty price. No one wanted it because it was so expensive to feed. I wound up a a bar that had a huge tank, like the full length of the bar. They didn't want it either. I managed to trade it to them for a few shots of JD. A month later the bar burned down. The fish got poached.
I had a pair of Oscars (about 8" long), as you say almost nothing but them in the tank they did not like the plecostomus but gave up on eating or killing it . I made the mistake of putting their food tank in their site, one night they knocked the top off the tank and tried to jump to the other, yep dried fish. I then put a blue gill in and folks thought it was an Oscar, still loved to eat!
