    Is that a Western Single Action? I'd buy it just to get that free gun!

    mmmm
    Although always described as a cowboy, Roswellnative generally acts as a righter of wrongs or bodyguard of some sort, where he excels thanks to his resourcefulness and incredible gun prowesses.

    It is really sad that this guy thinks that a S&W revolver would need a cheap pistol to seal the deal. He really needs lessons from Kasey on how to take photos of a gun.

    I emailed the seller with some suggestions and a note about the typo. He really seemed to appreciate the help. He is going to take better pictures, and correct the errors. He will learn and hopefully become a big GB seller.

    Some years ago I sold my Browning BAR on GB. Someone was nice enough to point out I had misspelled BROWNING as "BROWING" I made corrections and it sold the next week.

    Calling it a Smith and Western reminds me of Joe Funke from the Morton Grove American Legion gun club, he called them "Smith & Westerns" also. you would think at the age of 45 or so he would have that one figured out. He was not the brightest bulb in the pack........

    It looks like he got so many emails and comments about the listing that he finally pulled it. I hope that he has learned from his mistakes that he posts a better listing for the gun later when he gts better pictures. Get rid of the goofy free gun.

    Very beautiful factory engraved Smith.

    I think the price may be a bit high. I think engraved 29s usually go for around $2,500-$3,000 and the long barrel models always sell for a bit less as they are simply not as popular.

    I just checked his other listing and all of his photos are out of focus, and the itmes are priced at retail and above. Oh well, I guess he will learn as time passes.
