I haven’t had time to stop by the local Pawn & Gun shop for about a week or so, just been busy. But on the way home I stopped in to have a look around. I know the owner really good and the let me behind the gun counter. I even help out at time if they get busy while I’m there.
I looked around today and really didn’t see anything that caught my eye. I was about to leave when the sales clerk asked me to watch the gun room while he took care of something.
A guy came in and I showed him a few guns and we shot the bull a bit. He then pointed out a 38 Spl revolver in the case with about 15 others, saying “ ain’t that an ugly one”.
I pulled it out to have a look. It was a Smith with some odd wood grips on it priced at $199.95. I brought the revolver over to the owner and asked him what would he let me have it for. He said $200 out the door. I countered with $180, he asked if I was going to pay the tax. I told him that would put us back at $200. He said he would do $190 out the door, I said sold.
I’ll let y’all look at the pics. Most will know what this old revolver is and that I would have been more then happy to have paid the asking price plus the tax if I had to.
