Description:
VERY LIMITED PRODUCTION 32-20 MODEL 1905 1ST CHANGE, #23XXX, ONLY 11,073 MADE FROM 1906-1909. This is a blued example with correct scarce round butt (made with square butt also) and 5” barrel. Serial range for this model ran from 22427 to about 33500. No doubt this is an early first year production example from 1906. Matching serial numbers on the barrel, cylinder, frame and inside the grips. It is especially hard to find one of these early .32-20 Hand Ejectors in decent condition as they were typically “outdoorsman’s” sidearms that were paired with a Winchester, Marlin or Colt Lightning rifle in the same caliber and carried afield where they saw hard outdoor use. Many of the same model in .38 Special caliber ended up in bedside tables and are found in excellent condition now…not so the .32-20s! This 113 year old S&W still retains some fine deep blue on the barrel, frame and protected areas. It looks like some cold blue has been added which is really no big deal. Excellent case color on the hammer and trigger sides, exc. screws, tight action, exc. bore, front sight has not been altered or filed (!), grips fit perfectly and show only normal wear- interestingly, the right grip or “outside facing” grip in a typical right-handed holster is more worn than the left or “inside” grip which would naturally be more protected from rubbing and wear. All excellent and sharp markings including the barrel address and patent dates ending in 1903. There’s nothing like the hand fitted quality and workmanship in these early Pre-War Hand Ejectors! This is a scarce one.
