Hello,
Over the years, I've owned several S&W Model 10's. They tend to "come and go" in my collection. However, last week I went down to the local gun shop to repair a customer's Uberti 1873 Cowboy for the owner. It was a pretty simple fix. The sear/bolt spring was broken and I ordered a new one from W.C. Wolff Co. to replace the broken one. However, I digress. While in the store, I spotted a S&W Model 10-10 sitting in the display case. Rather than presenting a bill for my time, I asked the owner to put whatever he felt he owed me towards the Model 10.
Mechanically, it is in excellent shape. Cosmetically, I have seen "worse". So, it will reside there in the shop until I get there with the balance on the 'Smith. Since the LGS's "bread and butter" business is selling the new fantastic plastic pistols. I honestly felt I was doing the owner a favor by taking it off of his hands.

I was at one of the local "toy stores" recently, and they had several Model 64s. This one, a 64-8 from 2014, is LNIB. I doubt that it had been fired outside of the factory, and it certainly wasn't carried much, if any. It now joins it's older sister, a 64 no dash.
