This is an excellent example of a 4th Model 38 double action revolver with the standard two line address/patent dates barrel rib marking with the caliber marking on the left side of the barrel. Matching numbers on butt, cylinder, barrel and latch. The revolver is fitted with pearl grips featuring S&W medallions. The 4th Model was manufactured from 1895 to 1909.

Excellent. The revolver retains nearly 97% original nickel finish with some light flaking (mostly on the cylinder). The trigger guard retains 95% thinning original blue finish and the hammer and trigger retain 95% original case colors. The grips are excellent with a very small chip missing near the bottom. The pearl has a very attractive color. Mechanically excellent.
