Nice. Looks like the one my Dad had. I'd buy it if I could. GLWSFor sale is a beautiful vintage S&W Revolver -- a model 36 in .38 special.
SN dates production to the mid 50s, at the peak of Smith and Wesson's hand-craftsmanship. This will not disappoint. It is original down to the beautiful polished blue-black finish and the hand cut checkered walnut "Diamond Grips." Other unusual features from this period of production are the "flat latch" cylinder release, and the serated "combat trigger."
This is a vintage firearm and I did not buy it new, so an accurate "round count" is impossible. However, it is in excellent condition, rifling is sharp and normal wear points are crisp. If I had to guess I would think it has seen perhaps 200 rounds of actual use, half of which has been me.
The revolver will come with a couple of nice leather holsters, and a speed loader. I think I also have a set of big squishy Pachmayer rubber grips, if you happen to be "recoil sensitive, although taking off those Diamond grips would be a shame. I can probably be persuaded to include some nice ammo, if you make the process simple and easy for me
Asking $600, and I'm pretty firm at this price because I think it is fair. Normally, I'd be into trades, but this one needs to be a cash sale to help fund a motorcycle project, sorry.
If you're interested, please send me a PM. I'm in the Newberg/Wilsonville area and available to meet up hereabouts. Any govt. fees are on you.
p.s. this post will be deleted immediately when it sells (or I change my mind and keep it), so if you're looking at this I still have it.
Whar might your trade interests be on this artifact from the Golden Age of American craftsmanship in firearm production?
Would this be considered the Chief's Special? I love the vintage revolvers, love to shoot them as well. What is the recommendation for running plus p in the Smith, do you know?
Thanks for offer but ill pass.
