Very nice!!!! I love that they don't have the stupid lock on them

Well done!

Wow. That’s nice.

Excellent! I had a set of KB’s grips at one time and then determined I didn’t have a revolver really “worthy” of them haha!

Sounds like a problem money would've solved. In many ways the revolver is both easier and cheaper to get than the grips now.

To OP, very nice!!!

Those grips are beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Those are some real lookers. Very nice.

Just plain gorgeous, KB makes some beautiful revolver grips.

When your grips are worth as much as your revolver…….

So jealous.

Beautiful stocks. Are they all 3 K .22 ?

The bottom one is a very early Model 66 .357, note the short-lived stainless rear sight.

Gorgeous! Both guns and grips

There’s one just like it in the case at my LGS but in 38

Beautiful trio!


Here's an early set of KB's on a Pre War S&W 38-44 Outdoorsman

I hate you.

Very nice

And here's a transitional, post-war Heavy Duty converted to a Target configuration, most likely by Kings. Stocks are KB Black Walnut...



Adios,

Not wanting to drift this thread, but did you mean a Post War Transition 38-44 Outdoorsman, or 38-44 Heavy Duty? The Heavy Duty didn't have an adjustable rear sight and your gun does. I know King did all kinds of crazy conversions back in the day. Is that also a King hammer?

I love those King red reflector front sights and have a couple S&W's with them.

Beautiful KB's!!!

No, it was a Heavy Duty and was converted. Sights are Kings but the hammer (not cockeyed) is stamped Micro.

Here is the relevant excerpt from Roy's letter:

We have researched your Smith & Wesson 38-44 Heavy Duty, Post World War II Transition Variation, caliber .38 S&W Special. Company records indicate that this handgun with serial number S73XXX was shipped from the factory on April 29, 1949 and delivered to Wyeth Hardware Co., St. Joseph, MO. The records indicate this revolver was shipped with a 4-inch barrel, blue finish, and checkered silver medallion walnut grips. This shipment was for 20 units of this model all in the same configuration and they were billed at the wholesale price of $39. l8 each. This revolver was modified by the King Sight Co. after it was shipped from the factory.

Adios,

Look at you with your pinned and recessed goodness! Gotta be careful the S&W Forumites might start showing up! :-)

Very nice revolvers, I'm jealous. The above is comment is a joke, the S&W Forumites are already here.:-)
