A friend of the wife's came around this evening to show off the new grandbaby. Got to complaining about being short on grocery money this week and was going to sell her X's revolver to her dad for $75.00.
I asked her what it was and she said " I don't know, but it's loaded". Turned out to be a Spesco Falcon 38 SPL. Made by Taurus In Brazil. Even says Taurus on the bbl. Nickel plated six shot revolver, identical to Taurus model 80.
I loooked it up on the net and found a few selling in the $200-$250. She asked me if I would beat her dad's offer so I gave her $100 for it.
Too bad it couldn't have been a really nice piece, but I bought it anyway because it was a "good" sale. I don't think I got hurt on it.
No pic because it has these gawd-awful plastic fake pearl grips installed.
