Interesting they list the 2" barrel model 15 as a Combat Masterpiece Snub. And..available with target stocks for a few bucks more. Ill take a dozen..

I was 67 years old and had no income other than birthday & Christmas cards, and the occasional loose tooth.
I have a 1969 model 15-3, bought used in 2017 for $400. That gun would have cost about $90 back then

Funny how those decimal points move to the right over time...

I will join in here I have this framed in my gun room can you believe a mod 28 for 85.00 or a mod 29 for 140.00

Can you believe an annual income of about $5,000?

I am kind of surprised that a model 28 with target stocks is $90, while a model 19 so equipped will cost you $110 and the 27 is $120. Must be the extra polishing involved in the 19 and 27

 

[A1968ford]

Most likely so I am almost complete with my page here is my 29, 19, and 28 I still need a 27

I was in the military making $150 every two weeks.

I can remember when new M29's were $400, if you could find one. That was early to mid '70s. $400 was a lot of money then.

I bought a new Ruger Black Hawk .357 with a gun belt and holster and two boxes of ammo for less than $150 in 1971

Have one.

Bought in '78. Shot lots and lots of Flat Critters with it.

In 1969, a NEW PICK UP TRUCK went for $1900. Not $75,000!

Gotta laugh. A co-worker thinks I'm old at 55. 😂 Not saying your old, just saying......

Well back in 1971 I was working for $195. a month and getting paid once a month.. and you are quite correct, we are old!

In 1969 I was still in high school. I went into the Army in '71 and stayed 5 years. Bummed around for a year after that until starting as an apprentice at a BMW dealership in very early 1977, making a salary of $75 a week. I couldn't afford to buy guns at that point. Even though I started shooting with my uncles before a teenager and loved guns, I couldn't afford one. Times, and prices, have certainly changed.

My father passed about 6 years ago. I found our family budget from around 1967 in this notebook. Also found his old pay stubs. Take home was ~ $80/week. We had a nice house, car and family of four living a good life. My sister was taking horse back riding lessons.

Got out of college in 79; bought a new Chevy P/U; $3,000; had to borrow half from my parents back home.
