I picked up a pristine S&W 4" factory nickel model 19-3 (ANIB) with all docs,
back in December of '07 for $350. The only thing it was missing was the S&W
"tool kit" [screwdriver, wool mop-with handle]; and that was a steal in my
area. Run, don't walk- on over, and snatch this 19 (or 66~?
) up before it
gets away~!
FWIW, Out of the same collection where as I purchased the S&W 19-3, I also
purchased a 4" factory nickel, pencil barrel model 10-5; with a C737xxx S/N
indicating a birth date between 1963-1965 (before S&W was bought out by
Bangor-Punta). Its in the same "classic" conditon as the 19-3, with walnut
square butt diamond wood grips. I gave a mere $200 for this beauty~!
