Gun Show Find, OM 357 Blackhawk

[DRAM40A1]

I found this OM 357 at the gun show today. Just about an hour and a half drive but I suppose it was worth the drive. Appears to be unfired or if it has been, it's been very few rounds through it. Born in 1970,,,,just like me!

It has not been converted.

Unfortunately, the original box and paperwork was not available.

Wow! Nice find!

Nice find , our old 'passed' friend Bob C., would have loved that one, especially with those transition "squashed chicken" medallion grip panels...the BKH34 OM boxes and paper work are out there,,,seek them out.......

Congrats

The seller didn't want me to turn the cylinder because he says "unfired"…..I told him it won't be unfired for long
I got it to the car and cut the zip tie off, click click click click! So satisfying.

This is officially my first unconverted three screw. My first old model was a single six in 22 magnum that is converted.

he says "unfired"…..

Whatever lol.
When a seller tells me that I reply, "Oh, so you bought it new?"
Why didn't you shoot it?
Where is the box?

Looks better than mine. I bought it from a fellow who bought it fired it 6 times and stuck it in a leather holster. 30 some years later I pulled it out thus the pitting!

My step dad had a series 70 Colt 1911 and did the same thing. Freaking $5 nylon holster is the worst way to store a firearm.

My .357 Ruger I bought in m1965, and it has NO pitting!!!

Awesome find, enjoy!
Got this 1958 .357 last year for a whopping $350 from a local seller. Goes with my dads 1957 .44 mag and his 1957 .357.

Particularly since it's a flattop, as well!!
