[QUOTE="aarondhgraham, post: 4116870, member: 13337"] Being a bit (read severely) OCD,,, I love pistols in a nice padded display case. About a decade ago my best friend passed away,,, When we went to the range she would always bring,,, The Nickle plated S&W Model 34 her Father gave her at age 12. According to the story she told,,, Her Pop took her to a gun store and told her,,, She could pick out any of the .22 pistols that were there. On hearing the story for the first time,,, I complimented her on her great choice in her gun. I asked her why she chose that particular gun,,, Her reply was, "It was shiny." When she passed her Brother gave me the pistol as a memento. I had always planned to put it in a case but never got around to it. One of my favorite revolvers is my 3" S&W Model 34,,, For sheer simplicity and utility I feel it's a hard pistol to beat. So when a gentleman on this forum put a Nickle plated 3" Model 36 for sale,,, I decided that his asking price of $399.00 was too good to pass up. Mainly because along with my OCD driven love for cased handguns,,, I also love to collect identical pistols (or near identical) in centerfire and rimfire. I've been threatening to case this pair for a while now,,, After several years of procrastination,,, I finally did the deed. I found this nice box at a thrift store for $2.00,,, Add $4.00 of foam and $3.00 of red cloth,,, I have cased these two lovely girls. I have a new clasp with a hasp for a small padlock,,, I just need to buy some screws small enough to mount it.

Ladies and Gentlemen,,, Meet Elle, the Model 34,,, And Dakota, the Model 36. So, have I aroused anyone's jealousy? Aarond P.S. Thrift stores are wonderful places to browse through,,, This box sells at Hobby Lobby for over $40.00. . [/QUOTE]
