Going through my safes and organizing and I had to stop and admire the Model 19 that my Grandfather gave me about 25 years ago. He and his Brother bought a pair of M19s and my Grandfather kept it under his bed for the next 20 years until he gave it to me. I added the grips to class it up but otherwise it is 100% original and pretty much dead mint (VERY faint turn line if you look for it). It was never shot and never really handled, finish is mint. Original receipt shows that long gone pricing but I thought it would be fun to post a Time Machine.... Too bad Grandpa didn't grab a Python, lol
