For a Registered thats 70 years old , you did really well !!!! Thats a big hole that you filled in your great collection , Well Done !!!
I know you speak very highly of Fords and I`m sure they`ll do a perfect job .

I really like those 24-3`s . I know their not P&R guns but they were made for such a short time , I really think they`ll be very collectable !!

You Done Good Bud !!

I spoke with Horace Ford today of Ford's refinishing, He has a complete machine shop and has done several grip frame repairs over the years, so I guess they will get the Job shortly of putting this back right for me..H.D. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (hammerdown7) http://nframeforum4812.yuku.com/sreply/17712 Tue, 23 Jun 2009 17:07:27 GMT http://nframeforum4812.yuku.com/reply/17711/t/A-Couple-of-New-additions.html#reply-17711

While at the same show, I had an eye on a Nice Registered Magnum. It came with a Factory letter that said it shipped to Augusta, Georgia on December 3, 1935 and was Owned by an FBI Agent. Oddly enough, it had a Patridge front sight blade as most with a 3-1/2" Barrel are seen with the Baughman or Mcgivern Gold Bead,.... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (hammerdown7) http://nframeforum4812.yuku.com/topic/3338 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 10:33:29 GMT
