I picked up this really clean Smith & Wesson Model 10-5 today at a local gun show. I traded an AR15 upper for it.
This shows no wear on the bluing or the wood grips. I'm not even sure it was ever fired. It does have a drag line from the cylinder.
The beauty of it is that it came with the original box, paperwork and cleaning tools. The cardboard box is in good condition after 50 years.
I'm uncertain how long I'll keep her. If I can find a collector that wants to pay me for it I'll sell for sure. I'm really looking for a good condition model 10 for shooting. I'd prefer a 4 inch barrel. Personally I've never been a collector, I prefer shooting my firearms and I don't want to worry about maybe scratching or putting a nick in it.
