My Nickel Plated "Non Colt" Came home Today

[Wyatt Burp]

This is the 1979 S&W Model 39-2 I just got. It has all the paperwork including the original owners notes of buying it in Alaska in 1980. He sold it for $250 in '88. I found it locally for $400. It has an unbelievably smooth D.A. pull. I just ordered these elk bone grips for it from master grip maker Patrick Grashorn. Can't wait to get 'em!

Matt that thing looks great!! Is that as recieved or have you polished it up? It looks almost new.

Matt - that's a nice 39; I have a blue 39-2 and I have your nickle plated 39-2's big brother, the Model 59 nickle; no papers or box though:

I haven't used the Flitz yet. It looks great in person but better in pictures. The "problems" with the nickel are really minor. But I'll still clean it up.

cwo4uscgret, I love that 59! Can you sell it to another guy with that hi-cap magazine? There's a 59 for sale out here (Ca.) but I think the seller can't sell it with the original magazine. Ten round max out here. It's a really nice touch that they accented certain parts in blue on these nickel guns.
