Just a good old nightstand / home defence gun, ye old Model 10. This one dates to 1967 and is Wifey's nighstand gun.  This gun is very tight but had a well worn finish when purchased. Massive touching up was done with Brownell's Oxpho Blue and Dicropan T-4. The shiny area around cyl flutes is flash and not wear. Grips are not factory. |

Nice one KB! Does your wife carry it or does she just keep it for the bump's in the night?

Yes, the finish is rough, but looking at the grips and other areas it does not look well used at all. Any idea of how much service it saw?

Sunset, no, it was under the pillow of my wife's uncle when he died so his daughter didn't want it and knew I was into guns and gave it to me.

Thanks Don, it is always good to see the old pieces that have been in families, kept in good condition, and are being given the same care today. Thanks!

FIL had a V-Model, like new, original grips and lanyard ring. Wifey's brother has it now. Wifey had to show him how to open the cylinder! Sigh!
