Description:
 OUTSTANDING AND RARE MODEL 1896, .32 HAND EJECTOR FIRST MODEL D.A., #6XXX, MADE FROM 1896-1903.  Only 19,712 of these historic .32 S&W Long chambered revolvers were made and serial numbered from 1 on up. This antique example has a 4 ¼” barrel and is imply a superb example and I don’t recall seeing one any better. This was S&Ws first side swing cylinder revolver and is unusual in that it has the cylinder stop in the top strap as well as no side-latch cylinder release- instead one pulls the ejector rod tip forward to release the cylinder. Unique to this model is that S&W put all the patent date markings and address on the cylinder between the flutes! Screws are excellent and overall the revolver retains about all the original bright nickel with only some minor surface scratching and some light freckling on the cylinder. Tight action and bore is generally excellent with maybe some scattered surface roughness that might brush out. Front sight has not been altered, sharp markings, matching numbers including inside the exc. hard rubber grips. Almost never seen especially in this state of high condition. (NOTE: LOOKS MUCH BETTER IN PERSON- PHOTO LIGHTS REFLECT OFF OF EVERY SCRATCH THAT NORMALLY IS BARELY NOTICED.)
