New 1895 and Smith & Wesson 32/44 #3
Picked these up Friday. 1895 is a flatside, 4,xxx serial, and 28" barrel in 30 US. Smith is a 32/44 that is a shooter, and has had the barrel cut back to 5 1/2". Shoots good with shorts, and will try longs on Wed. Here are a couple of pics. What should the front and rear sights look like on the 1895? Thanks, moodyholler

Wow ... nice pieces of history there.
... I love poetry, long walks on the beach, and poking dead things with a stick.

Thanks Pete44RU, that is what it looks like. Front blade is homemade of brass though. Will need to look around for proper one. moodyholler

Very nice!

You Dog!
I've been chasing a flatside for years!! Almost had one guy conned into selling me a .38-72 for $900.00 (a dozen years ago) but he bailed at the last min.
Good on ya!

Kirk, doesn't look as good as your AMerican. And my photo's are sverely lacking your style, but it was a hoot to shoot Saturday and watch my wife shoot it and be tickled she was shooting something so old. Makes it all worth while. Later, moodyholler
