yep, nailed it ! This was part of a shipment that came through Aimsurplus about 5 years ago. I've put about 1/2 a box, ( 24 rounds I guess), through it, great shooter and a very nice trigger.Manurhin MR73 with Trausch grips?
I love the grips! Altamont? I've been toying with the idea of getting some for my 1917/1937. Now that I can see what it would look like, I think I might order a pair.Got some new grips and a flap holster for the S&W 1917/1937 in 45acp. I know they aren't period correct but they are a lot more comfortable and still have the diamond checker class.
Unfired Smith and Wesson 29-2 44 mag with 8 3/8" barrel. Not only did it come with the wood box with unused cleaning tool, it also came with the original cardboard shipping box.

Not only were they in short supply, but Smith and Wesson wereThis is pretty wonderful.
Back in the day, during the construction of the Alaska Pipeline, there were thousands of transient tradesmen and support personnel converge on Alaska, and the status symbol to say you made it, was owning a Model 29. They were in very short supply, and folks would pay extreme premiums just to get one.
And they were gorgeous. (The revolvers, not the workers)
As a Dealer I was required to order a second Smith from a short list. IIRC the Model-10, Round Butt, 2" was one of those. I built up quite a Collection of Smith's. I still have many of them and they are for sale!!!This is pretty wonderful.

Oh YES Harry was. Just look at the record of production at S&W.A fellow by the name of Dirty Harry, wasn't helping the situation, either!
