Traded about $700 worth of rifles for these 4 old pistols. Hi Standard 106 Military Supermatic, 1920-30 Haenel Suhl gen 1 pocket 25, mid 80’s MarkII, 1899 S&W 38 Top Break.
I’m looking for a front sight for the Ruger.

I love those Mark II Rugers.....a fellow can squirrel hunt with those after a little practice. The S&W is up my alley as well, not much of a shooter, but I find them a neat part of history.

Isn’t that Ruger called the Great 8. Never owned one but would be tempted. Hasbeen

It had an old Japan Simmons 2x20. Not a real bad scope.

Here are couple pics of the 38. Not bad for nearly 125 years old.

Give Mackay_Sagebrush a pm. He has 38's and they are good loads. I know because I've bought and shot some.

The .38 S&W and .38 Special are different animals and not interchangeable.

Remington is actually producing 38 S&W new. A local gun shop had 5 boxes and I bought them for my Colt Police Positive .38 cal.

The old S&W looks to be in great shape. Most I have seen look like they have been left in a barn for the last 80 or 90 years.

Well dang! After looking to unload 200 rounds of that, I finally gave them to my brother up in Oakland County MI. Wish I had know you needed some.
