Description:
Rare Blued, LONDON Proof S&W BABY RUSSIAN Revolver
Circa 1876 .38 S&W Single Action Revolver!
Here we present an antique 1st Model Smith & Wesson .38 S&W Single Action Revolver also known as the Baby Russian, made circa 1876-77 in Springfield, Massachusetts. The Smith & Wesson First Models were produced from 1876 to 1877 and was Smith & Wesson’s first .38 caliber revolver. The first model of the .38 Single Action can be identified by its smooth barrel (lacking fluting), and the long extractor shroud similar to the Smith & Wesson Model 3 Russian pistol, which lent it the nickname "Baby Russian". It had a spur trigger and lacked a trigger guard. Models were available in blued or nickel-plated finishes, and the majority were produced with ?3 1⁄2-inch or 4-inch barrels, although barrels as long as 7 inches were sold. Serial numbers range from 1 through to 25,548 between 1876 and 1877.
This one has the scarcer blue finish with wood grips. Rarer still is the fact that the barrel and all the chambers on the cylinder have 19th Century London proofs, telling us that this revolver went across the pond after it left the factory.
The overall condition is fine. 30% of the original blue finish remains with vibrant original case colors. The markings are clear. The numbers match. The grips are smooth and sound. The bore is bright with sharp rifling. The action is excellent. Here is an already desirable and fine Smith & Wesson revolver with rare features!
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 3-1/4 inches.
Caliber: .38 S&W
