Greetings,
I stopped by a local gun store this morning and noticed a little gem hiding in the case. It is a Nickel-Plated Smith & Wesson Fourth Model Double Action in .38 S&W (5 shot) with ivory grips (nicely aged). I would say the gun is in good-very good condition with good mechanics, a somewhat pitted bore (lots of BP rounds and corrosive primers) and kind of dirty.
When were these 4th models made?
Could the ivory be original?
He is asking $350. Is this a good price? If not, what should I offer him?
It definitely seems like the gun would be a good limited shooter with mild factory or reloaded ammo.
Please Comment.
Thanks,
Hunter
