Well I've been working, doing thangs and stuuuffff, but I found these in my travels.
First up is a S&W Lemonsqueezer, one most kind of write off as a bottom end handgun. After I got it, I discovered it's not your average Lemonsqueezer. It's a very first production, made in 1887, and check out the serial number......122, all original finish and grips. An early concealed carry handgun, the first S&W to be hammerless and have a grip safety. I had a local shop give it a look, given the age, it got a clean bill of health, so yup, she still functions, I tried a cylinder of .38 S&W through her(pricey stuff these days). So even after 129 years, it still fires, locks up nice and tight, even the bore for it's age is nice.
And with it came this, also made by S&W, only about a 101, maybe 102 years after the Lemonsqueezer was made. The little brother to my S&W Model 29, this luscious hunk-o-stainless steel is a Model 657, in 41 Magnum, another wonderful cartridge from Elmer Keith. It came from the back of a closet in it's original box, still wrapped in the vapor barrier paper with the manual tucked neatly underneath. It's seen very little, if any use in it's life.
Ain't evolution great!!
