Description:

The included factory letter states that the revolver was shipped from the factory on March 7, 1932 and was purchased by the Denver Police. The two line address/patent dates marking on top of barrel, caliber marking on left barrel side and "SMITH & WESSON" on the right barrel side. The underside of the barrel has the serial number, letter "B" for blue finish and an eagle head. Fitted with checkered S&W medallion grips.

Rating Definition:

Fine as partially refinished (barrel). The revolver retains 90% of the blue finish overall showing areas of smooth brown-gray patina on the barrel and top strap, some minor high edge wear and minor thinning on the grip straps. Front sight has been modified. The grips are excellent with a few minor handling marks and overall crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
