This one is my wife's fault. Really.
I haven't gotten it out of layaway, but thought someone here might be interested.
It's a 1952, Smith & Wesson "Terrier." Using the improved I frame with a coil mainspring, it's a five screw, chambered for 38 Smith & Wesson, with diamond round butt Magna's, it's a little smaller than the "J" frame we know today.
I've been ignoring it really for a couple of months. I'm not a big fan of the small frame guns, but my wife kept saying she thought it was "cute." I finally told her to make an offer. The worst thing they could say is "no." She did, they took it. Now we had to put up. So it's on layaway.
A couple of crappy cell phone pictures before it went off to the slot in the back with my name of it.
Forgot to mention. It's already been "lettered." The factory letter says it was originally shipped March 19, 1952 to a hardware store in Lexington, Ky. I forget the name of the store. That makes it a "birth year" gun for me, since I'm a '52 model myself.
