Description:
HIGH CONDITION AND VERY EARLY PRODUCTION .22 LADYSMITH 3RD MODEL (.22 PERFECTED), #140XX, MADE 1911. The serial numbers for the 3rd Model Ladysmith began with 13951 and ran through 26154 with only 12,203 being made from 1911-1921. As these were delicate 7-shot revolvers and not suited for .22 LR High Speed ammo, many had their forcing cones cracked or blown away altogether...or worse! The end result is that few of these unusual Smiths have survived in any sort of condition and with excellent examples hard to locate. This one has all matching numbers and is in desirable blue finish (many of these show a "star" by the serial number on the butt indicating a factory rework or reblue- this one does not have that). It has a 3 1/2" barrel with excellent forcing cone just ahead of the cylinder. This example shows nearly all the original bright blue with only a small amount scuffing and thinning on the back strap and normal high edges. All markings are sharp and clear, the deep dish medallion grips are excellent and fit perfectly, the hammer and trigger sides show fine case color and importantly, the action functions as it should. and the bore is bright with any roughness scattered and light. In all, one of the best I've seen in a very long time.
