Manufactured from 1931 to 1941 with this example shipped in November 1937. It has standard S&W markings, importer marking on the butt, matching serial numbers on the butt, cylinder and ejector shroud, un-numbered grips and matching assembly numbers on the frame and crane. The factory box retains the white label numbered to a different gun on the underside. Provenance: Frank Staig.

Excellent. The revolver retains 99% original blue finish with loss limited to the muzzle and a cylinder drag line. There are some minor handling marks. Vivid original case colors remain on the hammer and trigger. The grips are also excellent with a tiny chip near the top (left panel) and sharp checkering overall. Mechanically excellent. The box is fine showing minor to moderate wear.
