I saw some pre-K22s that Tam mentioned in her last post on her weapons blog.<br /><br />I don't remember seeing any .44Spls, but M1917s were all over the place including one in .455Webley priced at $2K.<br /><br />Very good find. Now get some dies and a simple press and you're set.Crucishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15441911110953212619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-71628625106636259962009-07-29T11:11:21.839-05:002009-07-29T11:11:21.839-05:00SWEET!!!!SWEET!!!!HankHnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-72388340100086281872009-07-29T10:26:13.181-05:002009-07-29T10:26:13.181-05:00If it dates to '39 and has a shrouded ejector ...If it dates to '39 and has a shrouded ejector rod, it's not actually a Triple-Lock (they were discontinued in '15) but the "Wolf & Klar" 3rd Models are even rarer.<br /><br />Nice catch! If that's the original bluing, that's about $1500+ worth of wheelgun.<br /><br />You're right, I'm jealous! :DTamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07285540310465422476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-71924326761750059592009-07-29T08:13:58.540-05:002009-07-29T08:13:58.540-05:00I hate to be the movie geek, but this was the mode...I hate to be the movie geek, but this was the model used by Dr Jones in Raiders, no?<br /><br />Matt<br />St PaulAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-58150834914948189292009-07-29T07:32:25.219-05:002009-07-29T07:32:25.219-05:00Very, very nice.

However, the .44 Special is no slouch, and if you hit 'em hard with the first six you don't need a reload.Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10596065269535476259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-47074567517465125002009-07-29T06:09:01.242-05:002009-07-29T06:09:01.242-05:00Too sweet.

Wasn't sure what it was so I did a little research. <br />Turned out it was a target variant made by/for some guy named Berkhart(sp?)in San Francisco back in the late 20's. <br />Shortly after, some guy offered me more for the grips then I had paid for the whole gun.<br />The bargains are still out there.<br /><br />Again - nice work.<br />emdflAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-59533355303509024872009-07-29T01:16:51.035-05:002009-07-29T01:16:51.035-05:00Niiiiice!Niiiiice!Ambulance Driverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10175419709184526342noreply@blogger.com
