Description:
ONE OF THE EARLIEST 1899 FIRST MODEL M&P .38 SPECIAL REVOLVERS I’VE ENCOUNTERED AND THIS ONE WITH SERIAL NUMBER 6XX IS IN SUPERB CONDITION! This is the first side swing cylinder model offered by S&W for the new .38 Special cartridge and was only made from 1899-1902. No doubt, this is one was made in the first few months of production as a total of 20,975 were made and serial numbered from 1 – 20975. Quickly distinguished by the lack of a locking lug under the barrel, beginning in 1902 this feature was added. One of the more difficult of the K-frame Smiths to locate, this one with 5” barrel and nickel finish with case color hammer and trigger is a gem. All of this model were made on the round butt frame. The original hard rubber grips are excellent and retain the perfect tiny “PAT’D JAN. 29, 78” marking on the lower edge of the left grip- this light marking is almost always worn away. Nearly all the bright nickel remains with only the smallest amount of freckling on the barrel top and slightly on the left side- hardly worth mentioning. Nice case color on the hammer with faded color on the trigger. Exc. mechanically and exc. bore. Even shows fine nickel on the front face of the cylinder indicating it was shot little if at all. These are all "4-Screw/Pre-5-Screw" revolvers as the fifth screw wasn't added until 1905! This is a truly excellent early S&W Military & Police revolver with an incredibly low matching serial number on all parts.
