wheelie66 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Model 14-2 that someone molested. However at $300 out the door I could not leave it behind. The nickel and gold plating are of decent quality, just not sure why someone would do this. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhgtyre Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I think you need a matching rifle but for $300 I would have been tempted too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrswanson1 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 The better question is, how does it shoot? Everything else is superfluous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bamboo Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Maybe it was a presentation or commemorative gun for retirement or service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my best guess, I think I will leave it as is. It will be shot however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckaroo45 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Last time I saw guns like these was on a New Awlins' pimp! All you need now is a big brim white fur hat! (^_^) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Watson Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 There was a shop in my home town that specialized in this sort of thing. Nickel and gold, nickel and blue, blue and gold. I don't recall a three-tone but I am sure they could have done one on request. They did masking that let them deliver a blue cylinder with the flutes in gold. As long as the plating buildup is not so thick as to affect function, you got a DEAL if you like or at least don't mind the shine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
357454 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 S&W offered the Model 14 with a Nickel finish, they are somewhat rare, this could be one of them. The gold washed Hammer ,Trigger and cylinder release are (something else)! Nice Buy. b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would've made them throw in feather hat & velour outfit. Edited August 23, 2016 by FWSixgunner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCTaylor Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I like it! For $300 it would have come home with me too! Those parts could be Titanium Nitride coated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheelie66 Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 I didn't think of Nitrate. No idea how long ago this was done. It is not a factory Nickel gun unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most accurate revolver I ever shot was a buddy's S&W M14 back when we were in college. Awesome gun with 148 grain HBWC and 2.7 grains of Bullseye. Awesome.
