I posted some pics in another area and thought I'd share for the heck of it.
Top to bottom: Model 65-2 - VG condition CDNN police trade-in bought earlier this year - $325 1954 vintage K-22 Combat Masterpiece (came with #'ed gold box and grips) - Bought within the last couple of months for $500 delivered. 1968 S-prefixed Model 57 - bought in 01 (approximately) for $425 
Thanks for looking and comments are always appreciated, Scott |

Quoted:
sweet, the one in the middle looks in excellent cond. giving its age..very nice  You are correct. In the picture you can see the wear on the end of the barrel and there's also a little just forward of the trigger guard from holster wear. I was baffled someone would sell such a nice revolver but the guy had bigger fish to chase. It's kind of funny, what I would consider an heirloom piece is another guy's fodder and so on and so on. Here's another closer pic of the K-22: 
The 57 was my first and I stumbled upon it. It's actually nicer than it looks in the first pic. There's a combo of flash and schmutz that I failed to wipe off prior to taking the pic. Here's a better one in daylight: 
Thanks for the looks and comments guys, Scott |

Hate the game, not the playa!! I'm sure you've got quite a posse of Smiths to keep you occupied so just remember, it's not always greener on the other side.
There was a 68ish vintage 58 that would have been a perfect companion for the 57 on gunbroker a month or two back. It was just pristine with the correct grips and I'd have sold body parts for it, if it were legal. The asking price was 9 bills and I think the highest anyone bid was $750 and the reserve didn't get met. Thanks for the reply, Scott |
