[luc2121]

here are a few pics of my new smith and wesson 1st model DA 44 russian. it is in great shape, lots of blueing left and case colouring on trigger and hammer and bore is great. hard to beleive a gun this old can still be so tight

Looks good. I have 2 of them--both nickled. For 50 bucks you can get a factory letter from S & W. They are fun to shoot.....enjoy.

Looks good!

P.S. if you hit enter before and after posting the pic into the post you won't have issues with them lining up horizontally 2 feet right of the screen

I was reprimanded by a moderator for posting pics that way once. Very nice piece of iron.

i fixed the pictures, i wanted the most modern of antiques and i figured it was this. i have 250 acres and it's nice to have a gun handy without having to lug a rifle around. if i'm driving my tractor and i have my antique handgun with me does it have to be locked in a case ? is this considered transportation if i'm on my own property ?

I recall that it has to be out of sight while being transported in a motor vehicle. I'm sure they weren't comtemplating alarming passers by on your quarter section when they dreamnt that up, but it probably applies. I don't think it has to be locked up, just in an opaque case while in a motor vehicle. If in doubt, RCMP has a fact sheet on their firearms site.

you must be cu***21 on GB you out bided me!!! (well somewhat)

lol

looks to be in real nice shape

the seller gave me a chance to buy it now at 300 less then what u paid , i should of taken the deal lol.

 

[luc2121]

it's actually a lot nicer in person than it looks in the pics, i knew it must have been a canadian bidding on it also, worth alot more to us then them. 32rf are fun but feel like toys this has heft and is fullsize

That's in use, not transport.

Very nice iron!, I plan to buy one of these someday, gotta get my hands on a 1892 8mm lebel first though.

Congrats on the purchase I'm sure it'll make a good iron for many years to come.

Nice rig. Probably a good investment piece to boot...

Most modern is the Colt SAA- they're still made. Nice 'Smith mind you.

 

[luc2121]

colt saa are nice but i find the smith and wesson "looks" more modern, maybe it's just me

 

[Ardent]

Well, for most modern looking legal antique, here's my old Colt 1892. They're the most modern appearing antique if I had to pick one. Nothing wrong with your 'Smith as a gun mind you, good guns.

 

[luc2121]

that is a really nice gun, i think i need one
