I walked into Cascade Firearms on Fourth Plain in Vancouver about ten days ago and found this. It's an S&W Model 64 no dash in .38 Special that actually doesn't even look like it's ever been fired. No scratches, carbon, pitting, cylinder drag mark...nothing. The dark blur on the shot of its right side is actually the reflection of my camera off of its stainless steel surface. It came with an only mildly buggered up original box, the S&W no-rust paper, and a cleaning rod.
Production of the 64 no dash versions was between 1970-1972. It's basically the stainless version of the Model 10. Barrel is tapered and pinned. Lock up is sincerely tighter than any other revolver I've ever had. Excellent DA and SA trigger pull.
I don't think this impulse purchase will be one I regret, especially since the price was extremely reasonable. It's now in the safe with its S&W friends — my Model 36 no dash Chief's Special, Model 60 Pro in .357 Magnum, and Model 69 Combat Magnum in .44 Magnum. This officially qualifies as a trend, I think.
