Factory letter states the revolver was shipped on April 24, 1928 to Horace Partridge Co. of Worcester, Massachusetts, for the City of Melrose, with a 4 inch barrel in .38 caliber, blue finish, and checkered wood grips along with the special notation "S.B. Finish." This was an 18 gun shipment. Provenance: The Charles Marx Collection

Very good overall with original finish, brown patina on the balance, shortened barrel, crisp checkering on replacement grips. Mechanically excellent.
