Description:
LIMITED PRODUCTION .32-20 HAND EJECTOR MODEL OF 1905- 3RD CHANGE, #61XXX. These beautifully hand fit and finished 3rd Change revolvers were serial numbered in the 45201 - 65700 range and 20,499 were produced between 1909-1915. They were offered either in square butt or round butt and only with 4" or 6" barrels with the longer 6" barrels being the most common. This is a really fine 4" barrel example with square butt. The serial number matches on the frame, barrel, cylinder and inside the grips. It retains bright case colors on the hammer and trigger and the deep dish brass S&W medallion grips with sharp diamond checkering are excellent. Most of the bright original blue remains with only some slight muzzle wear and edge wear. Even the front face of the cylinder retains most of the blue indicating that this revolver was shot very little if at all. The factory hand tuned action shows typical early mechanical excellence and is as tight today as when it left the factory. The bore is excellent. Interestingly, there is a great deal of discrepancy concerning the differences between the "changes" in this model. One book says that the 1905 3rd. Change revolvers "patent dates were now removed from the side of the barrel..." Not so on this one which DOES have the patent dates on the barrel. Perhaps it was an older barrel S&W found still in stock and used, but the serial number matches so it has to be right. I think, like Colt and a number of other manufacturers, parts were never wasted! A particularly attractive blued example with 4" barrel.
