Let us know when you have it in your possession, and please post pics!!
I see you stayed up all night long just like the kid waiting for Santa. If you bought both the Blackhawk and the S&W Model 18 it might be worth bringing flowers home to the wife as an ice breaker.

I don't think I would bring them coffee and donuts, but he is 100 % correct in everything else! You just don't see them around here at all. Buy it!
No baby pictures of the new family member or members?

Someone ELSE needs this Model 18...
And this is my (soon) to be BlackHawk...

Congrats! That's the best steal I've ever seen that wasn't illegal.
I just saw this, and my advice was "Buy It". But now that you have…I would not even consider refinishing it, or any part of it! If it bothers you too much, I'll gladly trade you for a beautiful new model .357! Heck, I'd even trade my Bisley Super for that!

The forcing cone could use some love from a Lewis Lead Away tool (no, sonny, those aren't screens for my pipe!), and the sight pin needs a tap back in from the left side. The ejector rod housing screw snugged up fine, and besides some edge wear at the muzzle (and the spot on the cylinder as noted), that's where it's at. Oh, and it was $449, not 499, I forgot. S/N: 17253…. HOLY CRAP 1958???? Seriously? This thing's older than ME? Oh, and it's "un-modernized".

Sorry about the smudgy finish in the pics, but can you guys see what I mean about the S&Ws top strap? Shiny bluing? That's a refinish.
I'm sure you guys know more about an old Blackhawks finish, does this look like an old reblue? I did not think so. Give me your input, anything to pick apart?
I also don't believe I'm going to be able to keep it on layaway very long…

That serial number makes it a Type 2 Flattop.

Okay, come on? That means???
When changes are made they are different types. Ejector rod and trigger changes are 2 of the different things changed
