Description:

Manufactured c. 1909 at the end of the Second Model and beginning of the Third Model ranges with nearly full coverage engraving, a silver plated finish with blue trigger guard, standard sights, and smooth mother of pearl grips with golden S&W medallions. A unique monogram is also incorporated into the engraving on left side of frame. The two inch barrel has "+32 S. & W. CTG+" on the left side and "+SMITH&WESSON SPRINGFIELD MASS. U.S.A.+" on the right. The frame has the Smith & Wesson trade mark on the right and a monogram on the left. Small British proofs are seen in the cylinder flutes. The matching serial number is marked on the butt, rear cylinder face, and barrel latch.

Rating Definition:

Excellent. The revolver retains 95% plus of the original silver finish with a dark aged patina. The trigger guard retains 50% of the original blue finish. The grips are very good with smooth surfaces and only slight aging. The engraving patterns and markings are crisp. Mechanically needs some attention.
