This First Model Military & Police revolver was also known as the Model 1899 Army-Navy revolver. Out of the total production of 20,975 manufactured from 1899 to 1902, only 1,000 were delivered to the U.S. Navy in 1900. The barrel has the two line S&W address/patent date marking and the right side plate has the S&W trade mark. The factory serial number is stamped on the front grip strap. The butt is marked "USN/[anchor]/38 DA/B inside a triangle/NO/958/CAB". Fitted with diamond checkered grips and correctly without a lanyard swivel.

Good. Traces of bright original blue finish remain in the protected areas (mostly on the frame) with a smooth gray patina on the balance. The grips are also good with a minor chip missing near the bottom (right panel), some minor pressure dents and some wear in the checkering. Mechanically fine.
