PROVENANCE: I bought this WW1 S&W revolver directly from the granddaughter of E F FARNHAM. Ammunition which will be shipped separately in period poor condition box is addressed to the original owner, E F Farnham Collinsville, CONN.
I will print and include Farnham's story with his WW1 picture in uniform. Elmer Frost Farnham graduated from the CONN Ag College in 1915, served in France as a 2nd Lt in the 303 Field Artillery. He later became a member and served as a clerk in the local draft board in WW2. He was civically minded, a true citizen and a writer/historian. I bet there is a lot more information available on E F FARNHAM.
C&R eligible if legal to ship to your jurisdiction. Otherwise shipping to your FFL. I require a signed file copy of your FFL. $50 shipping since I may have to ship ammo separately. I follow all laws.
Certified funds ship quickly. Will hold personal checks until cleared.
