Description:

This is the Model of 1905, 4th Change which was produced between 1915 and 1942. Revolver features a blade front sight and square notch rear sight. Marked "SMITH & WESSON" on the left side of the barrel, " 38 S&W SPECIAL CTG" on the right side of the barrel, the two line address and patent dates are on top of barrel and the Smith & Wesson trademark on the right frame. Casehardened trigger and hammer and checkered grips with diamond pattern around the screw hole. Complete with the correct two piece gold box.

Rating Definition:

Excellent. The revolver retains 99% original finish with loss limited to wear on the ejector rod. There is a very faint drag line and a very small area of light spotting on the cylinder. The hammer and trigger retain all of the original bright, vivid case colors. The grips are excellent with a few minor dings along the bottom edge, light handling marks and sharp checkering. The box is very good with some minor scuffing and edge wear.
