Almost missed this tucked way in the back corner of the used pistol case.
S&W model 19 4”, $699 on the tag.
Lemme see it please….ooh has some nickel issues
$550 and it came home with me

Obviously a 27 3.5”
Pre 27 actually , circa 1950
Mechanically excellent
Real pearl grips

At least they had the serial # right , not an assembly number from elsewhere on the gun , which is what pawns shops often do.

Wow! Great find!

Pre-27 for $500. OMG. The prices of those are so high now.

Good score for you and their mistaken loss. Imagine how little they paid for it...

Pawn shop codes are usually pretty easy to decipher.
They had $300 in it

You suck

Very jealous. Amazing find.

Wish my local pawn shops were that stupid!

What a score! Congrats

WOW, that's beautiful. I've been looking for a score on one of those for years, and even with nickel issues, that is a fantastic price IMO. The Model 19s are some of the nicest carry revolvers ever made, and they are sure easy to shoot.

Here's my 19-6 to keep it company. Congratulations again.

What's the serial number?

This is S77016

S76711
Wasn’t that one the Home Screen on the old S&W forum?
Or maybe I’ve just seen the picture a few times

Yes, on the home page.

My photos, my artwork. Rather stylish, wouldn't you say? Quite pleasing to the eye.




The logo in the upper left hand corner of each forum page was my Model of 1950 .44 Specal 4" w/Cokes.

Classy, if you ask me.

Those are some beautiful N-Frames! Nice score, OP!

Sometimes you get lucky! This is one of those times. Great find OP.

I agree, those guns in nickel with the barrel/shroud design are IMHO the best looking Smith ever made

Nice catch

Does it have the markings indicating it was nickel originally? N on back of cylinder, on barrel flat, ln grip frame? Looks original nickel tome, but sometimes a first class factory refinish can fool you.
Even if it was $550 is a smoking deal

It is N stamped inside the barrel shroud, along with the serial repeated
This one has bottom of frame, face of cylinder & barrel shroud instead of barrel flat
I think the older guns had it marked on the flat

Well done and congrats.

That’s outstanding! Congrats!
