I picked this puppy up at the Gettysburg show today. Someone reblued it at some point. Marked WNJP on the heel. W____ New Jersey Police I am pretty sure. By the serial number she is 1929 manufacture date. That or she might be a 1926 manufacture Monitor. But I am guessing it’s an OP
The guy had it priced low because of the reblue job, even though it was done well. That and the timing is a tiny bit off. The lockup is good and appears accurate, but if you actuate the hammer slowly it’ll hang sometimes.
$250. He took $240 cash and a C&R and I was happy as can be.
I had every intention of not buying any guns at the show and every intention of waiting to get my first revolver for a 686 or GP100. I really wanted something that could eat 38SP and .357, but I just couldn’t pass it up. It looks darned pretty and just makes me think of every cop show I used to watch growing up in the 80s.
