Looks like an old K frame Smith and Wesson M&P .38 or .38 special revolver....prior model to the current Smith Model 10. The Indy used models were N-frame...about a 1/3 again larger than the K-frame, and much heavier. In a pinch, though, these work, though are a bit smaller. I personally carry the model 13, which is the same frame and the like...just a .357 mag version with a bull barrel. Nice looking example here. Regards. Michaelson
Looks nice!
I wonder how much they'll be asking for them? Gotta be over a hundred pounds at least? Maybe more?
It always strikes me as funny (but not in a ha ha kind of way) that replica guns sell here for more than the price of an original in the states. Supply and demand, I guess...
Looks very nice though Fil.

Well, considering that most replica's are hand built, where production guns were/are cranked out on production lines, it would make sense to me that the replica COULD be an expensive propositiion to a collector. They're pretty much a one of a kind, in many respects. Not being a replica man myself, I really have no 'feel' to what would be an acceptable price, and what would not. Unless it goes 'bang', and something jumps from a bullet strike, I don't pay a whole lot of attention to it. Regards. Michaelson

Yep, hind sight being '20/20', I'm still wondering if I'd have made the same decision....groceries, or revolver....groceries, or revolver.... I can see it now, and my wife meets me at the door after my purchase...."really honey, the revolver seemed to be the best choice...uh, why are you looking for bullets to fit the gun...uh, dear?" Maybe I DID choose wisely back then, considering she's a MUCH better shot than I am.....Regards. Michaelson
