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.

Put one of those $119.99 red dots on the Ruger. Bug holes.

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.

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


Forgive me my nonsense, as I also forgive the nonsense of those that think they talk sense.

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.
