Shipped in May 1952. Barrel marked "45 CAL. MODEL 1950," an importer marking on the butt, fixed sights, Magna grips, matching serial numbers on the butt, right grip panel, cylinder and barrel and matching assembly numbers on the yoke and crane. Comes with an unnumbered factory gold box for the Model 1950 Army revolver with correct finish and barrel length listed on the short ends.

Excellent plus. The revolver retains over 99% original mint blue finish showing only faint traces of a cylinder drag line. 99% plus original case colors remain on the hammer and trigger. The grips are near new with sharp checkering. Mechanically excellent. The box is extremely fine. A highly impressive example of a Smith & Wesson .45 Hand Ejector Model 1950 Army revolver with box. Provenance: Frank Staig.
