Today I bought this Smith and Wesson Lady Smith .38, model 60-7, box included, no papers. Included are 50 rounds Winchester 125 grain +P JHP, 100 rounds Winchester 130 grain FMJ, two holsters (one is a Uncle Mike's Side Kick shoulder holster, the other is a snug leather holster), two HKS speed loaders with a double belt attachable carry case, and two extra sets of rubber Uncle Mike's grip's.

The revolver is tight and clean. The deal was straight up. The gun was bought fair and came from an honest guy.

I have already sold the pistol and will come out with some extra cash.

I am keeping the box so my wife has a box for her Lady Smith .357. The box is unmarked.

I am keeping the ammo. No brainer.

I am keeping the speed loaders and the leather holder.

I will sell the 2 extra Uncle Mike grips and the holsters on eBay.

The way it looks when all is said and done, I will be about $125.00 ahead, I will own two more speed loaders with a case, and I will have about $80.00 worth of ammo, all for nothing. Just looking at the math, $125.00 cash, $20.00 speed loaders, ammo $80.00, that comes out to $225.00 ahead.

Here's a pic.

That he knitted for himself?

Besides, he said he already sold the gun.
