SigSentryBring out your pre model 10s
Happy Valentine's Day to me. I put this S939XXX around 1948. Hopefully I can see it turn 100. Not sure about the grip mod but it's very good work. My first S&W anything.

maxwayneI have one that shipped in April of 47. I was born in Feb of 47, so it is about as close as a birthday gun I am going to see. My pictures are on photobucket, so nothing to show.

RomeoFoxtrotNice revolver!! Am I looking at the gun wrong, or is that some kind of grip adapter attached to the grip with screws?

You are looking at it correctly. I have no additional information on it. Looks well done and matches the trigger and hammer. Old school gunsmithing.

A work in progress. Picked up the barrel for 10 bucks at a show several years ago. Don't know if I'll have it fit or find an original. The original barrel was a six inch split right down the middle due to a squib load. I got the gun for free so I'll put it together and probably only fire very low pressure wadcutters through it.
I suspect the ramp sight may cause some point of impact issues compared to the original half-moon.
