I bought her last week. 1961 Smith & Wesson .38 Combat Masterpiece 4" K-frame four screw, adjustable rear sight. There is no ware on the bluing at all, she is perfect.
Has original diamond grips plus some after market ones. I love how it looks with the diamond grips but don't want to damage them, so shoot with the after market grips.
Should I just put the original grips on and enjoy the gun the way I like it or is it best to try and preserve them. I don't plan on selling this gun I will give it to my son one day. That said I would still like to keep it in good condition. I looked at buying another set of diamond grips but they go for about $100 on ebay. Ouch.
I don't know enough about guns to know if this gun is rare or collectable, any info or advice would be much appreciated.
