Description:

As stated in the included factory letter this revolver was shipped from the S&W factory on March 1, 1913 and delivered to Iver Johnson Sporting Goods Co. of Boston, MA. The letter goes on to confirm the barrel length, nickel finish and factory pearl grips. The letter also states that this revolver is one of a consecutively numbered pair both in the same configuration. With a pinned round blade front and rear notch sights, standard markings and smooth grips with inset S&W medallions. The serial numbers on the butt, cylinder, barrel latch and barrel all match.

Rating Definition:

Excellent with 97% plus untouched original nickel finish. Showing some light muzzle wear, areas of light spotting and freckling, general handling marks and a scratch on the left side plate. The grips are excellent with just a few minor scratches near the screw hole on the left panel. Mechanically excellent.
