In conjunction with my other post I thought Id share this as well! A 91/30 and two boxes of PPU SP for 280 bucks. Deal or no deal? I just got finished at the range and they sure didn't make Mosins with lefties in mind, did they? Sheesh!

At my local gun shop today I found a number matching 45LC Colt first gen with its factory letter for $1500. I plan on loading some black powder rounds for it and having a blast. Lockup on every cylinder is perfect. It's marked U.S. which it's letter verifies. I'm leaning toward it being a cavalry model.
Picked this up at the gun show in York, PA last weekend.
Non-Refurbished, original matching Soviet M44’s are pretty uncommon. This example is dated 1945 and has the early M44 features like the single ear bayonet lug, thin front sight base, and a wartime stock. All of the serial numbers are matching, and were not scrubbed and renumbered to match.
No import marks. Luckily it survived the past 81 years without being violated by bubba or bad storage conditions. I suspect that it’s a bringback. From where, I don’t know. Probably the Korean War. I guess WW2 could be possible but unlikely.
I know many collectors will deny the bringback possibility outright without papers, but I do not think the presence of bringback papers are the be-all-end all.
Either way, it is still a very uncommon example of a Soviet M44 and the price was very reasonable ($500).

Wife bought me this S&W Highway Patrolman for Fathers Day. Was hoping you guys could give more context to when it was made, and approximate value (want to make sure she wasn’t ripped off) She paid $680 after taxes and fees.
