unit21savage Report post Posted December 17, 2021 Has white ivory grips (not real ivory) and one side has a crack in it. Gun definitely has a little surface rust and patina, but I have a good feeling she'd polish up nicely. Comes with vintage Leather "The George Lawrence Co" holster. Asking $550 obo, located in Peoria. CW doesn't let me upload photos sometimes so if theres no photos and you're interested just shoot me a text, Nick at 6232100807. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did go on before and it just kept giving me an error saying "the serial number you've entered is not valid for this consumer advisory". Whatever that means lol.

Crazymonkey Report post Posted December 18, 2021 Definitely a k38 biased on serial# its probably a early 50s gun .keep it away from any type of copper solve or copper type cleaner .older nickel guns were copper coated then nickel and you can get nickel lift and speckling from the copper letting loose of the nickel.

Nitemann Report post Posted December 18, 2021 The gun looks blue to me, not nickel but I could be wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crazymonkey Report post Posted December 18, 2021 It might very well be I was basing it on the post from 360 or better. But it's hard to tell the finish is well patina Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
