Stock:
Item Views: 1442
Item Interest: Active
Serial Number:
Catalog Page: 365
Class: Curio & Relic Handgun
Description:

The included factory letter lists this revolver as part of a consecutive set with gun "B" of this lot and fitted with a 6 1/2 inch barrel, red ramp front sight, white outline rear sight, target hammer and trigger, blue finish, and Goncalo Alves target grips when shipped to Western Hoegee Co. in Los Angeles, California on February 7, 1958. The letter states that this consecutive pair was an unusual one because this revolver is a four screw model and its mate (gun "B") is a five screw model. Matching serial numbers are marked on the butt and inside the frame. Includes a S&W monogram display case and cleaning tools.

Rating Definition:

Excellent overall, retaining 99% plus original blue finish with limited handling marks, a light cylinder drag line, and crisp grip checkering. Mechanically excellent. Case is very fine.
