I recall what was probably a very bad deal. In 1960, my father traded a pre-war Smith & Wesson .38/44 Outdoorsman with the original box, instruction folder and cleaning brush for an average 1901 vintage 2-frame, 12-gauge, 30-inch, VH-Grade. Upside, he probably shot the VH more the first fall he had it than he had ever fired that revolver.
