I found it in a local gun shop a couple days before Christmas and Santa wanted me to have it, so that's pretty much the story. I didn't get anything but the gun itself, but it is in near mint condition. I gave $500.00 for it which I thought was a little pricey, but 30 year old Smith's in this condition are few and far between in this area. I am a big fan of the 8 3/8" barrel, so that made it even more attractive.
