Description:
Here's one for folks who like old stuff.
This is an all-original Smith and Wesson Safety Hammerless top-break 5 shot revolver chambered in 32 S&W.
It has a 3" (not the 3-1/2") barrel and the Nickel finish which I would rate at about 80%
Hard rubber grips are perfect. No nicks. No chips. And they fit the gun perfectly - no gaps or looseness.
Serial numbers for this model ran from 1 (in 1888) to 91417 (in 1902) is and this one is number 85189 so we are estimating this to be around 1900-1901. It is definitely C&R eligible but I can't say for certain it is pre-1899 so I wouldn't classify it as an Antique.
All numbers match. This is not a "parts gun". It is all original. No refinishing or tinkering around with it.
This firearm is in excellent condition mechanically. It locks up very tight and has a heavy but smooth trigger. No play in the cylinder whatsoever. I would not doubt that it would fire it safely if you choose to do that but for liability sake I should say that you should have your gunsmith inspect it first.
If you're thinking about displaying this old gun like I did, you're in luck. This comes with a green Peters box for the 32 S&W ammunition (which has some spent brass in it) and some old advertising for this model.
