This stunning Smith & Wesson is a 32 Second Model manufactured in 1902-1909. Around 78,500 of this model were made, but this revolver features incredibly rare and beautifully executed scroll etching over most of the metal making it stand out from the rest. The factory records (not included) indicate the revolver shipped on December 7, 1903, and no mention of the embellishment was noted. However, eleven .38 Safety revolvers were similarly etched in 1899, and the work is almost certainly factory. The barrel is numbered "86590", the latch is numbered "112898", the cylinder has a "2" along with a "K" and dot under the ejector, and the butt is numbered "122900". Provenance: The Donald C. Fogg Collection; Property of a Gentleman

Excellent with 99% plus original nickel plating, distinct etching, 99% original bright blue on the latch and trigger guard, and 99% of the vibrant original case colors on the hammer. The grips are also excellent with dark coloration and crisp checkering. Overall wear is very minimal and mostly associated with age and limited handling. Mechanically excellent. Overall, this is an extremely attractive and rare Smith & Wesson.
