Description:
VERY HARD TO FIND HIGH CONDITION PRE-WAR BIG N-FRAME .38-44 OUTDOORSMAN TARGET REVOLVER, .38 SPECIAL CALIBER, #55XXX, MADE 1938. Only 4,761 of these massive revolvers were made during the Great Depression years of 1931-1941. As sales were slow for all models at S&W during this time, only the finest craftsmen were retained to build, fit and polish the small number of guns turned out each year. Special care was taken with the target models and the action and trigger pull on these exquisite arms must be experienced to be believed! This example has all matching numbers including on the inside of the magna grips. It retains nearly all the gorgeous pre-war high polish blue with only a bit of slight muzzle wear on the left side, a touch of wear on the bottom of the trigger guard and maybe some edge wear on the cylinder. It even retains about all the blue on the front of the cylinder showing it was shot little if at all. It has excellent deep case color remaining on the hammer and trigger with the hammer having patent dates on the back portion. Correct original adjustable sights, excellent markings, grips show light handling wear only, tight action, perfect bore. About as nice as one could hope to find without being new in the box! These rarely come up for sale. One of the finest S&Ws ever made.
