Excellent Smith & Wesson .38/44 Outdoorsman Model of 1950 (Pre-Model 23) Double Action Revolver with Box

Shipped in March 1951, it has standard S&W markings, importer marking on the butt, adjustable square notch rear sight and Magna grips. Matching serial numbers are found on the butt, right grip panel, ejector shroud and cylinder, and matching assembly numbers are found on the yoke and crane. The factory gold box is un-numbered and has the correct finish and barrel length listed on the short ends.

ConditionExcellent plus. The revolver retains over 99% original blue finish showing a faint cylinder drag line. 99% plus original case colors remain on the hammer and trigger. The grips are excellent showing some very scattered minor handling marks and sharp checkering. Mechanically excellent. The box is fine showing staining, some minor wear and hand written notations. Provenance: Frank Staig.
