Early Smith & Wesson Model 38 Bodyguard Double Action Revolver with Rare 3 Inch Barrel and Box
Manufactured between 1958 and 1961. Matching serial numbers on the butt, right grip panel, cylinder and barrel. Serrated ramp front sight, rare three inch barrel, and serrated flat cylinder release. Includes a Smith & Wesson box with end label listing finish as blue and barrel length hand remarked to 3 inches. Provenance: The Ernie Rice Collection
Excellent overall, retaining 99% plus original blue finish with limited handling marks, a cylinder drag line, and a few spots of wear in the overall crisp grip checkering. Mechanically excellent. Box is fine with scattered light storage and handling marks as well as the shadow of a previous label on the end. One of the most rare J-frame models ever produced!
