Beautiful S+W model 41 at auction

This morning I received an E-mail from Smith and Wesson. It gave notice of this gorgeous bit of metal work being auctioned off on Gunbroker.

I've never been much for owning highly engraved firearms, but in this case I think an exception could be made. I could easily grow accustomed to owning this... (g).

No, I won't be bidding. It's way outside my price range (spare a buck for coffee mister?). What I did was steal the photos from the auction to show here, with the link. Of course, I had to tweak them a bit.








Outstanding piece of work from the Smith and Wesson engraving studio.
The value on this Model 41 has no place to go but up.

It's interesting to note this appears to be S+W's first foray into selling on
Gunbroker. Their user ID shows them as such. I hope it goes well. It's a trend I'd like to see continued.

Very nice but I'd rather buy 4 or 5 shooters rather than one $3500.00 safe queen. I think folks that buy these have more money than good sense. Come on. That kind of money for a .22. Sheesh, not me even if I could afford it.

Tasteful, understated engraving. Now there's something you don't see every day...
