Gordon's post on Vintage Colts inspired me to take a family portrai of my vintage S&Ws. With the exception of the 1884-vintage .38 Double Action (which is and will remain unmolested) none of these guns were in collectible condition- several of them were pretty dismal in fact- when I got them and all have been modified or refinished to suit me. Every one of them is a shooter.

Top Right: .32 Double Action with modern grip, .38 Double Action 4th Model with modern grip.
