My grandfather, who had quite a few firearms, recently passed.
My father acquired two handguns that he knew had some history to them. He knew that one had come from my great great grandad, and the other was a S&W.
My grandfather carried one in his walker daily, and the other has sat in a drawer since he acquired it.
I offered to look them over, clean them up and take a few pictures.
The first one, which, to our knowledge, he never shot, is a blued 1964 Smith and Wesson 10-5 .38 Special.
The second, which he carried daily, is a 1910 Colt Police Positive .38 NP that my great great grandfather acquired.
Here is my great great grandfather with his Colt:
and after a quick cleaning:
Needless to say, I am very glad these found a good home.
My father offered them to me, and as much I wanted them, I decided to let him keep them.
I plan to take them out soon to see how they shoot
