That is one fine and valuable gun and the new barrels look to be high quality also. How about someone coming forward to post the pictures that Ken is having trouble with? I am not able to do it. The barrel flat markings should tell us the origin of the new barrels.

Bill,
For my own curiosity what do you value this gun at. I have no intensions of selling it just would like to know how well I did.

Thanks,

Ken

Atlas Arms in Chicago offered replacement barrels for Smith and Parker guns using tubes made by Vickers (England) and fit and finished by Armaf in Belgium. These have a 1954 proof date code. Courtesy of Jim Akins.



Some Smiths were rebarreled in the 60s by Armi Sarezzo and will have Italian proofs.

Here are two pictures of the steel barrels without foreign proof marks, still considered atlas? Nobody has an idea what this gun is worth?
