People wonder why I'd rather have an old Smith & Wesson revolver, pocked with rust and missing most of its blue, over a newly manufactured one, pristine and in the box with all its paperwork...
Old Smith & Wesson revolvers aren't just pieces of metal. They speak to me. They tell me about their trials and accomplishments, and most of all their contributions to history.
A light-barrel Model 10 Military & Police with true holster wear tells me of cold winter days and sweltering summer nights spend on the hip of a beat police officer patroling the streets of New York, Philadelphia, or Los Angeles.
A virtually pristine Regulation Police or Terrier with wear on only one side tells me of the years it spent in a dresser or nightstand drawer, waiting to faithfully defend its owner and his family.
A Military and Police Hand Ejector in .380-200 tells me of its role in the desperate struggles in the Libyan Desert when Britain stood alone against Nazi Germany.
A battered Schofield weaves tales of cattle drives, rustlers, shootouts in small, long-gone Western towns, and Wells Fargo men guarding gold shipments.
And a Model 1917 tells me of time spent on the hip of a nameless GI MP directing the first American troops to cross the Remagen Bridge for the final thrust into the heart of Nazi Germany.
Old Smith & Wesson revolves aren't just relics from history.
If you know how to listen, they'll tell you their history.

I seem to like most anything that is expensive. Guns, cars, watches, sunglasses, knives, home theater, car audio, you name it and I've probabaly bought it.
