This past weekend at a gun show in Lexington, KY. I traded a Taurus 66 for a very nice , old S&W Military & Police revolver. The revolver has about 85% bluing remaining (bluing is faded), 4" barrel, fixed sight with the half-moon front sight, and appears very sound mechanically. I am impressed with the workmanship on this gun. Cylinder gap is so small that I have to search for it and everything is very tight, cylinder has zero endshake and only slight side-to-side. Gun has old, wood, aftermarket grips that resemble old wood. Gun was full of dust, but cleaned up very nicely. Cleaned only dust out of the gun, no powder residue; probably not shot in a long time.
I am trying to verify possible date of manufacturing, but that may take me some time.
I am very happy with my new/old revolver and can hardly wait to shoot it.
Sorry, no pics at this time, but I'll try to get some.
Hope everyone has a great new year. God bless.
