It all went rather quickly, and my ultimate call was based on the damage $2500 would have done to my meager walkaround money for however long it took me to reap the rewards of spending it.

Now that's what I'm talkin' about (reply)

You shoulda called your good 2nd-opinion buddy in NC, Jack. :)

Or did you mean 'Third Model'? (reply)

If so, maybe this old clunker will do...

I need to see some purty old S&W gun-porn. Been foolin' with them bottom-feeders too much lately.

Yer never too smart, and yer never too old to get smarter. Gun show today, and I walk up on an S&W 2nd Model *target* in unmolested 90%+ condition. Price: $2500. Now I know it's rare, no question, but is it $2500 plus profit rare? I know the rules, hesitation is loss. So I throw in the towel, just too skittish with that kind of money. So I go fetch a good buddy, and fellow smiff nut, and play bird-dog. He looks at it for maybe 30 seconds, asks the best price, which is $2400, and comes away with it like it's Christmas morning, birthday, and anniversary all rolled into one. Bottom line, value? An *easy* $3000, a realistic $3500, and a blue-sky $4000 and up. I just never studied up enough on 2nd models for some wierd reason. See the title of this thread.

PS: I *do* know 3rd models, however, and picked up a nice old 1926 Wolf & Klar .44spl, 4", bumper-chrome lawman's gun for a *good* price! win some, lose some! it's called the gun biddness...
