Description:

This is an excellent example of a very rare Smith & Wesson 32 caliber "Automatic" pistol. Smith & Wesson only manufactured 957 of these pistols from 1924 to 1936 making them eagerly sought after by collectors. This model was Smith & Wesson's second semi-automatic pistol and was designed to replace the 35 Caliber pistol with one that chambered the more commonly used 32 caliber. The top of the slide is marked with the two line address/1910 to 1921 patent dates, the left side is marked "SMITH & WESSON" and the right side "32 AUTO. CTG". The left side of the frame is marked "MADE IN U.S.A.", the left rear has the "S&W" logo and the serial number appears on the front strap. Fixed integral sights, smooth trigger, serrated front strap grip safety, 7 round unmarked blue magazine and fitted with smooth walnut grips with "S&W" medallions.

Rating Definition:

Excellent. The pistol retains 98% of the original blue finish with some minor wear on the muzzle end of the slide, some mild high edge wear and overall scattered minor scratches and handling marks. The grips are very fine with some lower edge wear and overall scattered minor dings and scratches. The markings remain crisp and clear. Mechanically excellent. A must have for any Smith & Wesson collection.
