Description:

The accompanying factory letter lists this revolver with a 5 inch barrel in .38-200 caliber, blue finish and type of stocks not listed when it was shipped on June 24, 1941, to the British Purchasing Commission, New York City for use during WWII. Standard markings with the addition of "4430" on the butt and a Woolwich Crown stamp on the left side of the frame, lanyard ring on the butt and matching numbers on both grip panels, yoke and crane. Comes with the original box and "Shooting Suggestions" and "Universally Accepted" pamphlets.

Rating Definition:

Excellent. The revolver retains 95% plus original blue finish with some minor thinning and some minor high edge wear on the balance. There are some tool-like marks on the trigger guard, a couple small patches of minor pitting on the cylinder and a few minor dings throughout. The grips are also excellent with crisp checkering overall. Mechanically excellent. The box is very good plus with a repaired lid corner and minimal wear.
