In the early 1950's while at Gunsmith school I bought a triple lock. It came from Alaska. I went back to school in the deep south and met a Professor at the school who was a gun collector and more or less went to work for him. He had a tremendous collection which we added to and this was back in the days when you could buy a case of Winchester Winder Muskets, brand new in the original case from a company in Switzerland of all places. We were forming a state gun collectors association at the time and we were going to a show and packing things to display. He had a nickel plated pearl gripped triple lock that was particularly nice. As we were noting the serial numbers of what we were taking we came to the triple lock and as he read off the serial number it struck a chord. I went home and got mine and they were consecutive numbered. Needless to say I sold mine to him and have often wondered what happened to them after his death. I took the money I got and bought an unfired Merwin and Hulbert that didn't stay around nearly long enough. We got letters on the triple locks from S&W and one was shipped to Alaska to a store and the other went to a distributor in St Louis. What are the odds of that happening.
