About a year ago went into our local pawn/gun shop and bought a .38 S&W snub nose detective special for about $300. It was in the original box with the original sales receipt from 1960’s mr C4E took it to our local gun shop for a going over and the gun guy said I had made a very good purchase.
My dad owned a Detective Special and carried it when we were posted in Japan in the 1950s.
