Holy crap, what a way to introduce yourself here. A VERY nice 2-digit gun,, and I see you are from NC. Welcome to our fun place here from another tarheel.

I have 50th Anniversary .357 Mag #89.

One of our guns should go live with the other. Since you are not a collector, my vote is your gun comes here

 

[oldgunsrule]

Thank you. While I don't really consider myself a "collector", I do have a descent collection. I appreciate your interest, but I would rather have your 50th anniversary.

Hey oldgunsrule, please send me a pm. Tried to send you one but could not. thanks

Thank you. While I don't really consider myself a "collector", I do have a descent collection. I appreciate your interest, but I would rather have your 50th anniversary.

I sent you a message early this morning, a few hours before I posted, about possibly trading you another flattop plus a couple other 3 screws for your #89.

I see you are new to this forum, so in case you are not aware, you can read your messages by clicking the envelope icon in the upper right

which should have a number in red as to how many messages you may have (it will be at least one).

I don't know how to send a pm.

Hover your mouse over his username on the left side and then select "Start Conversation"

You may not be able to do it without having some minimum number of posts, I think 20.

i wish I could be that lucky
congratulations on a great find.

 

[oldgunsrule]

thank you Jimbo. Only a couple times for me ....
What's that saying, "even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now & then" .
i also have a "set" of two Franz Stock, type 1 pistols (7.65) that i acquired at different times that are consecutive serial numbers.
(# 23323 & 23322) . kinda neat.

Wow, that is really an impressive find. That's what I call "jumping into the deep in of the pool" early.
Thanks for picts.

I'm not really a "numbers guy", but THAT gun and number would get me excited if it were mine....
VERY NICE.......
I had an OM .41Mag with 4 5/8" bbl # 900........... couldn't bring myself to shoot it so I sold it years ago.
CONGRATS on a great snag.
