All frames manufactured by 1898. The rib has the standard one-line address, and the right side of the frame has the S&W logo. The grips could not be removed. Matching serial numbers are found on the butt, cylinder, barrel latch and barrel.

Fine, retaining 60% plus bright original high polish blue finish with the balance a smooth brown patina. 50% vivid original case colors remain on the trigger guard and hammer. The grips are very good with the right panel cracked and missing material near the top, otherwise minor handling evidence and crisp checkering overall. Mechanically excellent.
