SCARCE Smith & Wesson .38 “PERFECTED” C&R Revolver
Rare Version with NO THUMB RELEASE!
Here we present a Smith & Wesson .38 Double Action “Perfected” Revolver, made circa 1914 in Springfield, Massachusetts. These were the most highly refined of Smith & Wesson’s Double Action line with an exposed hammer. Over half a million were produced of the first 5 variations from 1880-1911, while only 59,400 of the Perfected revolvers were produced from 1909-1920. These shared their predecessors’ top break, auto-ejecting feature. Its two primary differences included the mechanism by which one unlocked the barrel and cylinder assembly to “break open” the revolver for reloading, as well as the integral trigger bow. Regarding the opening mechanism, the former iterations simply required one to flip the “T” shaped latch at the top; however, most of the Perfected model required the sliding latch on the left side of the frame to be pushed forward to then move the “T” shaped latch. This gun is not equipped with the “thumb” release, making it a rare variant.
The overall condition is very good. This revolver has been re-blued and retains 98%. The markings are legible. The numbers match. The mother of pearl grips are fair. The bore is clean with good rifling. The action remains strong.
This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic.
Barrel is 6 inches.
