Engraved S&W Model 60-1

[Rick McC.]

I sold my early Model 60 last year for an obscene amount of money. I had no intentions of ever selling it; but someone wanted it so badly when he saw it that he just kept doubling his offer almost every day. When it got up to 10 times what I’d paid for it; I said “it’s yours.”

Anyway, I figured that I’d replace it with another snubbie when I rwn across one that piqued my interest. So, last Friday afternoon I stopped by Ol’ Time in Hudson, just to see what it was like after all the crazy gun buying that’s been going on. Mike only had about 20% of the inventory that he usually has on hand (He said that pretty much whatever he gets in is gone in 2-3 days), but he did have some interesting stuff.

First, as always, I checked out the 1911’s, and there were two really nice new engraved Colt Government Models, a stainless,with black accents, and one finished in Royal Blue. I realized that both were much too nice and highly polished to ever see the inside of a holster; so I wandered over to the snubbie display case.

There it was; my new snubbie, sitting in a nice wooden case. Mike gave me a decent cash price, so it got a new home in Weeki Wachee.

I’ve taken several pics in attempting to get the engraving to show, but I just couldn’t get the engraving on the barrel or cylinder to show up.

Yeah, I don’t know why the site is now making the pics so small. When you click on them, they don't get a whole lot bigger.
