I like shiney old Smiths and I've been keeping an eye out for one of these for awhile. I didn't have a nickel 'K', saw this and bought it, including what may be the original box, tools, papers. It looked unfired by all the usual indicators although neither the seller nor I could be positive. The finish is not quite mint but very close. For sure it's been fired now 'cause I shot it. It did just fine.
We're all curious about prices, the gun w/box etc. was listed at $575 plus tax. We both knew perfectly well I was going to buy it, and after the usual haggling final was $500 OTD. SN 6K50xxx which should be '73 or thereabouts.
When I shoot much I still end up mostly shooting 1911s and BHPs, but my first CF handgun, and introduction to shooting, was a K-Frame Smith and they'll always remain favorites. But the old Js and Ns come very close, and actually my favorite revolver to shoot is a 60-4.
Sorry, not the best photos and the gun still has some oil on it.
