Smith & Wesson Serial Number "0" "Club Gun" Second Model Single Shot Pistol with Extra Barrels and Case

Second Model introduced in 1905. The zero "0" serial number indicates this pistol was a "Club Gun". "Club Guns" were given or loaned to shooting clubs or shooters as samples or test guns. Many were also shipped to clubs for shooting prizes and to notable shooters and S&W company personnel. The number "0" is on the butt, barrel, and barrel latch. Factory refinish diamond on the grip along with "11 26" (November, 1926) factory refinish date. Includes original factory chamois lined white oak case and two extra 8 inch barrels, one in .38 S&W and marked "0" and the other in .32 caliber and marked "20720", both "diamond" stamped as refinished. Provenance: The Dr. Gerald Klaz Collection

ConditionThe set is excellent as factory refinished, showing 98% blue finish with minor handling evidence. The grips are very good showing some age rings and hairline cracks. The extra barrels are both very good with 95% plus finish and a few areas of oxidation. The case is very good with mild storage type wear and missing lid padding. Mechanically excellent.
