Item Views: 980
Serial Number:
Catalog Page: 135
Class: Curio & Relic Handgun
Description:

Manufactured in 1904. Fixed sights, standard markings. Checkered circular cylinder latch on the left side of the frame, a pinned barrel, 7-round fluted cylinder, casehardened hammer and trigger, and fitted with checkered hard rubber grips with a diamond pattern around the screw and the "S&W" Monogram embossed at the top of each panel. Complete with factory letter stating the gun was shipped September 8, 1904 to Marcus Hartley Co, New York, NY and confirms the 3 1/2" barrel, blue finish and hard rubber grips.

Rating Definition:

Very fine as professionally refinished. The revolver retains 98% of the blue finish with only a thin drag line and light handling marks. The grips are excellent and have aged to a deep brown color with some handling marks and nicks overall. Mechanically excellent.

Serial Number:
Catalog Page: 135
Class: Curio & Relic Handgun
Description:

Manufactured in 1916. Two line address/patent dates marked on top of the barrel, "22 S&W CTG" on the left side and the S&W logo on the left side of the frame. Blue finish with casehardened trigger and hammer. Fitted with smooth walnut grips with S&W medallions. Complete with factory letter that states there is no record of this revolver ever being shipped. It further states that it was "probably manufactured in June of 1916".

Rating Definition:

Very good plus. The barrel and frame retain 60% of the original blue finish with a smooth brown patina on the balance. There are a few areas of light pitting scattered on the frame. The cylinder shows 40% thinning original blue with strong blue in the flutes. There is some light pitting on the cylinder as well as a few gouges. The grips are good with handling marks and a chip on each panel near the butt. Mechanically needs work, does not function properly in double action and cylinder will not swing out.
