My dad knows I've loved firearms my entire life and completely surprised me today. He's not big into firearms, but has always had a few for various reasons his entire life. Duck hunting shotgun, armadillo slaying .22 and a few revolvers for home defense. Well today, he decided he wanted to give me his "old" revolver that he had gotten from his great-uncle. My dad is 78, but what he brought out completely surprised me. He unzipped the little leather pistol case and this was in there. To say I was surprised is an understatement. I never knew he had this little gem and I'm so proud to know he has given it to me and eventually my young son will get it.
Anyway, serial is 443XXX which puts it in the latter half of 1935! So cool... And the condition is great as far as I'm concerned. It's not perfect, but the signs of wear are honest and the action is tight and the trigger is sooo smooth. Today was such a great day with my dad.
